Git Paywall

Marketing platform for source code

Git Paywall launched on April 17, 2023 with 20 votes, #1,543 of 4,853 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 3 years on.

What it does

Git Paywall lets you quickly build a landing page to promote source code, then collect email, payments, or both in exchange for collaborator access.

Gate any GitHub repo behind email, payment, or agent access.

GitPaywall gates source behind an email, a payment, or a private invite — then auto-grants GitHub collaborator access the moment a developer, buyer, or AI agent clears the wall. Built for source-code products, gated examples, paid templates, AI agent catalogs, and developer lead magnets. Install the GitHub App to import repo names and authorize collaborator invites. GitPaywall does not request access to your code. Capture emails, collect Stripe payments, or combine both. Set the access type and make the repo shareable from a single public link. Send developer details to your newsletter, webhook the event into your stack, and auto-invite the right GitHubfrom gitpaywall.com

    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…

    Hi 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…

    Hi HN, Today we’re launching GPT-4 answers on Phind.com, a developer-focused search engine that uses generative AI to browse the web and answer technical questions, complete with code examples and detailed explanations. Unlike vanilla GPT-4, Phind feeds in relevant websites and technical documentation, reducing the model’s hallucination and keeping it up-to-date. To use it, simply enable the “Expert” toggle before doing a search. GPT-4 is making a night-and-day difference in terms of answer quality. For a question like “How can I RLHF a LLaMa model”, Phind in Expert mode delivers a…
