Bottler Community

frosteryd.me
Bottler is a membership community for online content creators. The pitch is simple: instead of doing sponsored content their followers don’t want, creators turn to their fans with a monthly pledge of 30 SEK. No paywalls, no pay-per-episode — the content stays open, and the pledge is a way to keep your favorite creators doing what they already do. Think Patreon, with a Scandinavian touch of openness and inclusion.
How it went 🏆
- Over $100K paid out to online creators, and counting.
- The creators on the platform reach more than a million followers combined.
- A fully automated web app — CI/CD from commit to production.
- Custom payment and subscription handling built on Stripe.
The bet behind Bottler is that fans would rather contribute a little every month than watch their favorite creators chase sponsors. So far, the payout counter agrees.
