    IssuePay – Get paid for open-source contributions2025 · issuepay.app · ▲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
