    it's a community-developed product to automate and incentivize both code and non-code contributions to open source projects. we've launched the public beta with a hackathon during Hacktoberfest. the folks on reddit hate the engagement bait. i think many folks exchange reach for a pot. monetary benefit, we're just giving everyone the chance to do so. for maintainers oss.gg automates a lot of the overhead that comes with managing hundreds of contributors. what do you think?

    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.
