Is there a patreon specifically made for open source or coding projects?

You can use Patreon for that. Evan You has one to fund development of Vue.js

Oh very cool. So coders do use patreon but they are a minority? Maybe that itself is a good startup idea.

Gratipay (formerly GitTip) used to do that. Not sure how they are doing these days. I haven't heard about them in a while.

Dan Abramov used it while working on redux dev tools. Seems the link expired though.
