Finding the way to deliver bitcoin/sats microloans to people in need! Have a look at 🌱Ahoro.org at the moment we are integrating the Lightning payments and soon onChain will be available soon at checkout with BTCpay integration.
Also looking to improve the borrower experience, as at it's buggy because developed with minimal resources. Your feedback it's much appreciated here too
Wow this is very cool. I just gave it a try. Everything went smoothly. Some feedback

possible to create an English site. My Spanish is very elementary but I was able to understand for the most part. But if you have an English equivalent people will have a better understanding what they are contributing to

nice to see LNbits be used as the payment back end.
-hard to tell what is a loan and what is a donation.

Thank you so much, appreciated. We are definitely considering English as second language to be added, hopefully many more. We started from Spanish as we'd like to have some impact in Central and South America 🤞 and start recruiting some real borrowers.
LNBits has been a straight way to implement lightning, onChain too if needed. However, the experience is not that great, same for the implementation of BTCpay as the user need to leave the website to complete the payment. We are looking on better ways to implement BTC non-custodial payments.

Is there an option to help with translation? Like if the website is open source by creating a PR for example
reply
English available for now, as we did find a plugin that allow a good level of automatic translations.

Tried to do another donation but keep getting this error
Por favor introduce una dirección para continuar
Confused why I am getting this I am using my same account.
The plug-in works on the main page but once you click to donate it goes back to Spanish.

Thank you so much for trying again, so useful for us 🙏🏽 We are still making changes and improving the platform., please don't be surprised if something doesn't work as expected. If you try again, it should ask for the address only for shippable items.
Same for the translations, it sets to switch to your browser language. So if you have Spanish set, it will bring you back to a Spanish page next click

I was doing this on mobile. I’m pretty sure the default language on safari is English.
But I should be thanking you for creating a platform that allows us who benefit from all this developed nation privilege to help.

Not at the moment, the site is built on WordPress. If you know any useful plugins, please let us know
