Zaptip

Tip Bitcoin to any GitHub developer over Lightning, without leaving the page.

How it works

Zaptip detects Lightning addresses on GitHub profiles and repo About sections and injects a Zap button. Click it, pick an amount, send sats.

Try it out

Visit github.com/Camillarhi or the Zaptip repo with the extension installed and you will see a Zap button.

Setup

As a tipper

1. Clone this repo
2. Go to chrome://extensions
3. Enable Developer Mode
4. Click Load unpacked and select the project folder
5. Visit any GitHub profile or repo with a Lightning address and click Zap

As a developer (to receive tips)

Add your Lightning address to your GitHub bio or repo About section. Example: Tips: you@wallet.com

That's it. Anyone with Zaptip installed will see a Zap button on your profile.

Payment

• If you have a WebLN wallet like Alby installed, it handles the payment automatically
• Otherwise a QR code appears that you can scan with any Lightning wallet
