BountyHub
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…

In plain words
BountyHub is a platform that connects developers with financial incentives for resolving GitHub issues. Project maintainers can post bounties on their issues, while developers earn money by completing them. The platform handles secure payments and includes dispute resolution to ensure reliable transactions. It targets open-source contributors and project maintainers looking to accelerate issue resolution through monetary rewards.

Once a solution is ready, they submit a GitHub pull request. When the solution is accepted, the bounty is paid out automatically via Stripe. If a dispute arises, BountyHub offers a resolution process to ensure fairness. Everyone involved receives email notifications at key stages—no need to keep checking manually. A bounty is not neccarily rewarded when a pull request is merged. The bounty creator has the ability to review the pull request and decide if it meets the requirements of the bounty. On the other hand, a bounty can still be rewarded if the pull request is not merged which is the case when a repository is not actively maintained and the bounty creator decides to use the bounty…from bountyhub.dev

Last year I gave in to the temptation of doing my own startup and quit my job, just like many others have done on this site. Since then, I’ve severely changed my lifestyle and reduced my living costs to a crazy low figure and worked my ass off for the last 8 months to achieve this: www.openloopz.com I have written more about it on Medium here: http://goo.gl/JN03yf I knew from the start the odds were stacked against me. I’m almost 36, I have a family and I live in the North East of England where - without wanting to sound negative - the opportunities are few and far between…

Talanoa▲340Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
