## Description

The softest way to support creators.

Most creators bury their tip jars in bios, footers, or "about" pages. Glint finds them automatically and puts them one click away — without getting in your way.

How it works

Browse normally. When Glint detects a creator support link on the current page, a small floating button appears in the corner. Click it to see all detected links with options to <strong>copy</strong> or <strong>visit</strong> each one.

Detected platforms
<ul><li>☕ Ko-fi</li><li>🎨 Patreon</li><li>☕ Buy Me a Coffee</li><li>💙 PayPal Donate</li><li>🐙 GitHub Sponsors</li><li>🤝 Open Collective</li></ul>
Privacy first

All detection happens locally in your browser. No data is collected, stored remotely, or shared with anyone. Ever.

Features
<ul><li>Floating action button — only appears when a link is found</li><li>Copy link or visit directly from the panel</li><li>Mute any site for 24 hours</li><li>Enable or disable platforms individually</li><li>Dark mode support (Midnight Espresso theme)</li><li>Respects <code>prefers-reduced-motion</code></li><li>Zero permissions beyond what's strictly needed</li></ul>
