it's a community-developed product to automate and incentivize both code and non-code contributions to open source projects. we've launched the public beta with a hackathon during Hacktoberfest. the folks on reddit hate the engagement bait. i think many folks exchange reach for a pot. monetary benefit, we're just giving everyone the chance to do so. for maintainers oss.gg automates a lot of the overhead that comes with managing hundreds of contributors. what do you think?
