Hey HN! We’re Ioannis & Zaf, building Algora.io to help open source projects reward their contributors & grow their communities.

The problem: paid contributions in open source are scarce, low trust & high friction
Our solution: we built an app that streamlines open source bounties on Github
Our 1st customer was Remotion.dev (15.6k stars, Typescript/React) in November 2022, whose feedback helped us ship our Github app & iterate through our bounty workflow. To date, Remotion.dev has rewarded 17 open source bounties: https://github.com/remotion-dev/remotion/issues?q=label%3A%2...
Since then, we’ve been fortunate to also onboard Cal.com (17.6k stars, Typescript/Next), IHP (3.9k stars, Haskell), Qdrant.tech (5.4k stars, Rust), erxes.io (2.8k stars, Typescript) and shuttle.rs (YC S20, 2.1k stars, Rust).
OSS contributors in the US, Europe (Germany, France, Norway), Canada, Nigeria, India, Egypt, UAE, Brazil, Colombia, Philippines and Australia have already earned bounties with Algora — we hope this list keeps growing!
We also started a COSS founder interview series to share lessons & advice for building open source companies: https://youtube.com/@algora-io
We are really excited to hear your feedback/questions and connect further: our emails are [email protected] & [email protected]. Thank you!
