You can add a link with your link to a GitHub Sponsors or any other donations service profile. But having a button would be interesting too.
@eddiejaoude can you please let me know which page are you referring to on the site?
@dheesimha people can add it as a link as mentioned by @Panquesito7 but I think if we have a special section in their json for donation and we can make it more prominent on the page - maybe bottom left for example
@eddiejaoude ,thanks for responding.I am new to Eddiehub, discovered you on Sunday via FreeCodeCamp's youtube channel and found your community very interesting and thought it was a perfect opportunity for me to get started with Open Source.
Hence I came across this issue, and I was unclear about which site was being referred over here. Could you please link the site you are talking about, so that I can understand the issue thoroughly and what needs to be done?
Thanks.
@dheesimha sorry for not being clearer, I have updated the description with a link and a screenshot - if you need more info let me know
Thanks a lot for updating the description @eddiejaoude . Now it's perfectly clear what the requirement is. So as per my understanding, we would require a button that says donate in the bottom left corner and display that only if the person has enabled the sponsor option on GitHub, right?
yes that I correctly, I was initially thinking if they have adding the json property sponsored with a link, but you are correct, we could check if it is enabled on their GitHub via the GitHub API
Cool then. I would like to take up this issue and work on it . Could you please assign this to me @eddiejaoude ?
I think this would work well using the same style as the help button on the home page, so on the profile page it would appear Sponsor if they have it setup
Q: Won't there be 2 button there, one for the testimonials and another for sponsors? wouldn't that be too much

good spot, this issue was created before we had testimonials - but the button could go on the left side
Maybe we can put Sponsor button above testimonials button for mobile view? And also, we can rename the button to Add Testimonial instead of Add Testimonial for [user]
I do not think we should put that many things down the bottom 🤔 Most people do not have more than 4-5 socials, it would be a good idea to put a button there IMO
We can also put it below social media icons. What do you think @eddiejaoude ?
I am thinking we should close this issue for now, as we have no clear solution and people are adding this to their list of links
Thank you all for working through this together, great collaboration 💪
