Creating an alternative to "donation" intended for developers

I would like to brainstorm with you brilliant minds to create an alternative for the "donation" for developers (e.g "buy me a coffee").

The point of this effort is finding a fresher newer method for all kind of developers to collect donations from their contributors. This brainstorming session intention will not aim for a creation of a product or any kind of solution. I would like to stay on the theoretical idea layer and rename and upgrade the idea of donation
which is asking for a cup of coffee from other people.

I will use the ultimate idea from this brainstorming in my personal website. I'm very excited to hear you guys great ideas.

I'll shoot first and i'm a pretty bad shooter;
"Share my expenses.🤘"
"Next drinks on you.🍻"

In my opinion, the best donation for developers would be 'Buy me time'. Not a real purchase; If it saves you time with the code it will write, experience it will transfer or a job it will do, it has bought time for you.

Maybe an experience in life or business life can be gifted as a donate.

Awesome idea, i would like to use this idea of yours with small adjustments without changing it's meaning.
Maybe a button labeled "Give me a hand" and an input would do the job.
Absolutely noted this idea, thanks.
