    Everybody should create a practice repo▲24

    Hi everybody, I personally found the best way to motivate yourself to program everyday is by creating a practice repo and by uploading anything you code up that day into this repo. This is a great way to stay consistent seeing the bright green light up every time you push your code. It's very addicting and satisfying, and has definitely made me a better programmer over the past few months.

    IssuePay – Get paid for open-source contributions▲8

    Hi HN! I’m Mario, and I’m about to launch IssuePay. Problem: Open-source contributors don’t get direct financial recognition for their work. Solution: IssuePay lets maintainers post bounties on GitHub&#x2F;GitLab issues. Contributors pick tasks, merge code, and get paid automatically. You can then withdraw your earnings directly to your Bank Account. Try it out: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;issuepay.app Questions: Would love feedback on our UX, payout reliability, or any scaling tips. Note: Open to partnerships with OSS communities! Thank you, guys ! <3

    I built a 1‑dollar feedback tool as a Sunday side project▲21

    I’ve always found it funny how simple feedback widgets end up as $20–$30&#x2F;month products. The tech is dead simple, infra is cheap, and most of us here could rebuild one in a weekend. So as a “principle experiment” I built my own today as a side project and priced it at 1 dollar. Just because if something is cheap to run and easy to replicate, it should be priced accordingly, and it’s also fun marketing. 1$ feedback tool. Shipped today, got the first users&#x2F;moneys today, writing this post today. Side Sunday project, then back to the main product tomorrow.
