    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.

    What works now: user signups, org creations, private/public repos, and importing GitHub repositories (both as read-only mirrors and full migrations). So basically, you can create, push and pull to a repo, but we don't have many features quite yet (issues, PRs, CI). What is a bit unique is: 1) we built it in Rust and 2) the website is a little odd. Its design is inspired by CLIs (e.g., fzf, broot, vim) instead of web apps, and as such, lacks some affordances that you might typically expect in favor of keyboard-driven instant navigations (we have the very ambitious goal of an FCP of…
