Show HN: Open-Source Coding Bounties Hey HN! We’re Ioannis & Zaf, building Algora.io to help open source projects reward their contributors & grow their communities. 1min demo: https://twitter.com/algoraio/status/1641560954746839042 The Problem: paid contributions in open source are scarce, low trust & high friction Our Solution: we built an app that streamlines open source bounties on Github • workflow: /bounty & /claim commands on issues and pull requests to create & solve bounties • discovery: README shields, badges and leaderboards, Github bot notifications, in-app bounty boards • tipping: /tip command on issues and pull requests to reward contributions retroactively • payments: Stripe Connect to onboard contributors & simplify payments, invoices & reporting • bounties API (SDK coming soon) to create bounty portals on your website Our first customer was Remotion.dev (15.6k stars, Typescript/React) in November 2022, whose feedback helped us ship our Github app & iterate through our bounty workflow. To date, Remotion.dev has rewarded 17 open source bounties: https://bit.ly/3nzAndT... Since then, we’ve been fortunate to also welcome Cal.com (17.6k stars, Typescript/Next), IHP (3.9k stars, Haskell), Qdrant.tech (5.4k stars, Rust), erxes.io (2.8k stars, Typescript) and shuttle.rs (YC S20, 2.1k stars, Rust). With Algora, OSS projects have rewarded bounties to contributors in the US, Europe (Germany, France, Norway), Canada, Nigeria, India, Egypt, UAE, Brazil, Colombia, Philippines and Australia — we hope this list keeps growing! In an effort to learn more about open source, understand the experience of maintainers and share lessons & advice for building commercial open source companies, we also started a COSS founder interview series. You can find the full interviews & highlights on our youtube channel: https://youtube.com/@algora-io We are really excited to hear your feedback/questions and connect further: our emails are ioannis@algora.io & zafer@algora.io Thank you in advance for all your input! https://bit.ly/433v0nI April 2, 2023 at 05:23PM
