A few days ago, someone I follow asked the community for help maintaining his side-project, 512kb.club. This got me thinking. There are loads of maintainers out there feeling burnt out, but they can't abandon their project since people are depending on the project to be maintained. In an effort to combat this, I built a website that lists projects looking for new maintainers. It's still quite empty and has some rough edges. Any feedback is very welcome!

Hi Hacker News! Shahar and Tal from Keep here. A few months ago, we introduced here at HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34806482) Keep as an “open source alerting CLI” and got some interesting feedback - mainly around UI, automation, and supporting more tools. We were VERY early back then, and we understood that although the current DX around creating alerts is not great, it's not that critical and developers don’t need another tool just for that. But we did find something else. While talking to developers and devops, we found that a lot of companies use many tools…

Hey! As a full-stack developer involved in world of open source, I've often encountered valuable repositories with solutions to my problems, only to find them abandoned for years. Faced with the dilemma of contributing to such projects during work hours, I thought of a solution. That's when the concept of OpenPledge was born — a web platform designed to address this very issue by allowing users (or corporations) to financially support specific open source issues. Imagine, no more abandoned projects, and developers passionate about contributing to open source can now do so more seamlessly and…
