A Bangladesh-First Solution for Creator Support ☕🇧🇩

Source: Dev.to

In the global creator economy, platforms like Ko‑fi and Patreon are staples. However, for developers and creators in Bangladesh, international payment barriers often make these tools inaccessible. I built Buy Me a Cha to solve this—a local alternative that integrates bKash and Nagad to empower our local community.

Solving Real Problems

• Local Payments – Direct integration with bKash and Nagad for both tips and withdrawals.
• No‑Signup Tips – Supporters can send one‑time tips without the hurdle of creating an account.
• Real‑Time Engagement – A new Stream Alert feature allows creators to show live donation alerts in OBS via a simple browser source.
• Developer Toolkit – Features like “Open for Work” badges and shareable QR codes to help freelancers find opportunities.

A Socially Responsible Fee Structure

• 3 % of each transaction goes directly to Cha Pata Sromik (tea workers) in Bangladesh.

Conclusion

Buy Me a Cha isn’t just a clone; it’s a reimagining of creator support for the unique needs of Bangladesh. By focusing on local accessibility and social good, we’re building a sustainable ecosystem for everyone.
