Algora — Open source coding bounties
Hey everyone! I’m Ioannis, together with Zaf we are building Algora.io to help OSS projects reward their contributors & grow their communities. 1 min demo: https://twitter.com/algoraio/status/1641560954746839042 The context: contributing to open source helps developers gain experience, grow their networks & land jobs while helping maintainers ship product updates and push their projects forward for the whole community
The problem: there’s too much work to be done in open source and not enough people contributing. Introducing payments can make contributing more accessible & benefit both sides, however today paid open source is scarce, low trust & high friction
Our solution: we built an app that streamlines open source bounties on Github
To date, OSS projects on the plaftorm have awarded $65,785 (600 bounties) to 188 contributors from 48 countries Right now, 43 OSS projects (mainly Typescript, Rust & Scala) have made 242 bounties ($46,899) available to solve To create bounties in your project, simply register, install our app in your repo(s) and use the /bounty command on issues To solve bounties, submit a PR including the /claim command & connect with Stripe/Alipay to receive payouts
