Thank you for this program..

I noticed you were on google adwords when I found you!
I just wondered, since you were paying for google ad's and how you manage to afford that advertising it if it is open source.
I am happy that you are getting the word about.
Would you like user's to donate? Please put a donate button somewhere on the site if you do!

Actually, I received a free Adwords credit from my ISP when I signed up. I figured that at the rate people click on the ads, the credit would probably last quite a while. In any case, it only costs 5 cents per click so it's not a huge burden even if it were to run indefinitely.

If enough people express an interest in donating, I might someday put such a button on the site.

Thanks for your feedback.

Hi Chris,

I would also donate if there were such a link. I use freeware until I'm sure it's functionality will meet my needs and it is reliable. At that point I generally donate between $10 and $20 if there is an option to do so via PayPal.

AutoHotkey certainly fills the bill of a very useful product for which I would donate if such an option were available via PayPal!

Here's an automatic PayPal link:

https://www.paypal.com/xclick/business=support%40autohotkey.com&item_name=AutoHotkey+Donation&no_note=1&tax=0&currency_code=USD

Although donations aren't expected or solicited, it's gratifying when someone likes the product enough to ask specifically about donating. So thanks.

Edit: Updated link.

Hi Chris,

why not place a paypal-button on the homepage?

In additon you could use small discrete google-ads. Very easy to use.

Hello,

I also hate ads, but if a free project gets to expensive for the author, I think it's okay. Well, Chris is not at that point and so I'm very happy that there will be no ads. It was only a suggestion and I also wrote "discrete"

I think a micro sized Donate link at the bottom would be acceptable I'm gonna donate to you here in the next week or so... I just had the most needed program scripted thanks to the support of AHK and the community.
