Concepto de plugin: "Propina esta publicación" con Lightning usando Breez SDK (Time2Build)

Hi Discourse folks,

We’re planning a Time2Build submission and wanted to check interest in a plugin that adds Breez-powered Lightning tipping to posts or users. The idea is to provide communities that already run Discourse with an optional, self-custodial way to reward helpful content—no custodial processor, just Breez invoices presented inline.

If this sounds useful, we’d draft the plugin as follows:

  • Admin config for Breez credentials + toggles (per category, trust level, etc.).
  • “Tip” button on posts/profile cards that opens a Breez-generated invoice modal.
  • Optional badges or webhooks when tips arrive.

We’ll only pursue it if it aligns with what you’d accept on Meta/the plugin directory, so any early feedback is welcome. Thanks!

Disclaimer: I’m not a Discourse employee

Anyone is free to make a plugin, it’s just whether you want a dedicated topic for that in Plugin. I suppose there aren’t really hard restrictions that Discourse enforces very strictly, unless the plugin is malicious or malware (and even so I believe Plugin topics first require manual approval before publishing).

Still, better to get a member of the team to reply here.

I see, do you think this concept is something that would be useful to Discourse users, though? @NateDhaliwal

Have you looked at the related topics below this topic? It’s a great way to read what others have asked for in the past.

There’s one bitcoin tipping topic from a long time ago…
I’ll search for more to get a better idea

Hmm… as I understand it, this is Bitcoin tipping? I really cannot gauge how popular this plugin will be, I suppose it’s really if there’s communities out there who’ll use it. @Moin’s idea is a good one; there has been a (broken) Bitcoin tipping in the past, as well as Feature requests in the past about tipping other users, I believe.

Thanks for the info. I saw in a past comment here that you mentioned something about tipping plugins being broken, do you know of any technical limitations to this
