- Last time I checked, Github required a credit card for its paid stuff.
- PayPal is a privacy nightmare. LiberaPay does accept the usual SEPA wire transfers and debit collects, but only if the recipient accepts them, too.

- Polar only accepts credit cards and whatever the hell „Cash App Pay” is.
I have access to none of these options, except SEPA iff Bottles accepts it.

The built-in lib is fine for basic stuff unless you do some crazy shit like expecting
"2"
to parse as a valid date.
