    Hello HN, Over the past few months we've been building Ringer, an Experts Marketplace focussed on Open Source Software. We want to help make Open Source more sustainable and believe that we can be a part of making that happen. We're approaching this from the perspective of the individual developer - if you contribute to OSS then you can register instantly with your GitHub account and list yourself to provide paid support, knowledge and help for the repositories that you contribute to. We only allow those who we can prove contribute to repositories to list themselves as experts, and show…

    We strongly believe working on open source software should be a viable source of income for many more developers. Unfortunately, the following barriers limit the extent of open source funding: - Only a small fraction of open source projects are funded, and most money goes to a few notable projects. - Each project has to market is self to get significant funding. - Large corporate donations provide the bulk of the funding, making it unreliable and unattainable for many. - Finding and supporting each of your dependencies is a cumbersome task. Which ones, how much, and on which platforms? So we…

    I got tired of collecting open source projects in my chrome bookmarks so I decided to compile a curated list of: - Recently active projects on GitHub - Mostly dev tools (but also productivity, analytics) - Projects which are "Alternative to X software" My bookmarks are finally empty:D If you have a great open source tool you use, I'd be glad to hear your suggestions. Also, any feedback is greatly appreciated.

    BountyHub▲341

    Hello HN community! As a long-time Github user, I often had issues with public repositories that remained open for a long time. This is due to multiple reasons, such as the lack of resources or prioritization. Sponsoring a repository isn't always the best idea because most of the time, contributors are not the ones receiving money. I came up with a solution: put bounties on GitHub issues to incentivize open-source contributors to fix issues even if they're not directly affected by them. This tool is not intended to force any unwanted additions to a GitHub project, but mainly to help with…
