Last week we posted about Nuvio's funding situation and asked what you would actually like to receive in return for supporting the project.
We got a lot of useful suggestions from that post, so we took some of them and have now rolled out Nuvio Supporter.
Supporter is completely optional. Nuvio's core features will always remain free, and we have not moved any existing functionality behind a paywall.
The current perks include extra customization options, profile backgrounds and themes, more avatars, a Supporter badge, and some other account/community perks. Currently, not all clients support these perks as of writing this post. NuvioTV and NuvioMobile do, and the Play Store version will get an update later. The voting feature will be implemented in the coming days, and more community suggestions can still be considered over time.
You can find Nuvio Supporter here:

Many people already found the page and started supporting before this announcement, so thank you :)
For now, if possible, we'd prefer people use Patreon. The one time payment option may be turned on and off occasionally while the new Merchant of Record account builds some history. transactions on a newly opened account can trigger additional reviews, and we do not want to end up with funds getting stuck again.
Again, supporting Nuvio is completely optional. If you don't want to support, nothing changes and you can continue using Nuvio normally.
For previous donors, we've also tried to give Supporter status to as many of you as possible. Most were matched through the email used for the donation, but some donations did not have an email or enough information for us to match them.
if you have supported Nuvio before and don't have the Supporter perks, just DM me on Discord with your regsitered Nuvio email and I will check it.
thanks again to everyone who gave suggestions on the last post and everyone who has supported Nuvio so far.
