stackaid

We're thrilled to be helping @getsentry funding all their open source dependencies!

@ThePrimeagen @github Definitely checkout stackaid.us. Single subscription for your dependencies. We don't have knobs for allocation per dependency yet.

a note on open source sustainability: to me, the only true answer to open source sustainability is a more convenient option that @github sponsors. Please @github allow us to set a budget for OSS and have a way to automagically distribute the funds. Here is my basic idea. filters: by primary language (isOCaml, isGo...) by type (lsp, http, testing) by which projects i rely on in repos by project (neovim (this would include related popular packages like plenary)) by "i don't care, just distribute my X $$$" example: I have a budget on $100/m 50% goes to neovim 25% goes to htmx 15% to lsps 10% to "you choose github" && !isJavaScript dashboard: having a nice dashboard that either shows what you have given and to whom you have given too and how much. having a "score" that shows how well you are doing compared to others to me this is the only way this really will work. It has to be something that people have to think less of. Less of opting in to individuals. Lets just face it, i am only going to opt in to those i "know" because of the highly personal nature at this moment

@sqs We've played a bit with Cody. Super impressive. The next step is to integrate it into our source per the Gist.

Everyone should star @JoshuaKGoldberg's TypeScript NodeJS project mentioned at the bottom of the post. Pure gold. github.com/JoshuaKGoldber…

@juliangruber Amazing, thanks so much! You may be interested in managing which organizations you fund: stackaid.us/blog/managing-… Cheers!

@juliangruber Thanks for taking a look, happy to answer any questions you have. Cheers

😍 "Funding: True to our hearts, this is a measure of how well funded your dependencies are based on the number of supporters." - @stackaid

We did our first live stream today talking on the Stripe Developers channel: youtube.com/watch?v=X1Iwa2… Thanks to @cecilphillip and @itsthatladydev for hosting us!

@mholt6 Yes. Note you can already decide which orgs get funded. This is just about the default list that will be excluded from getting funds

@stackaid In other words, "I'll contribute to my dependencies, but I don't want to fund <these individuals/organizations>?" IMO that seems reasonable. I would want control over where my money goes, personally.

We've had a few requests for a default organization exclude list for subscribers funding dependencies. Good idea, bad idea? Who should be on the list?

Right now we're thinking the obvious for profit companies out there, but some projects are a tough call. Any organization on the default list can always get in touch to be removed if they want to claim their funds.

Good work @benjam et al. 👏 Looking forward to seeing how many are employed in 6 months, a year, five years. opencollective.com/opensource/upd…

A huge thanks to @sourcegraph @jdorfman for funding their >1K dependencies with the click of a button.

So, what's next? github.com/zloirock/core-…

A long overdue shoutout @_faelpt who designed the StackAid logo and word mark. Highly recommend

@briankardell I support @stackaid monthly because I think it’s important to support not just the hype train of high visibility OSS projects but also the long tail of small projects that they are built on. I have so far supported 505 projects with $249 in total: stackaid.us/github/voxpelli

Calling all #FOSDEM attendees! Enjoy snacks and beverages on us at the #SustainOSS meetup. Huge thanks to our amazing sponsors: @GitHub, @RedHatOpen, & @Sourcegraph. 🎉 RSVP now before it's too late: opencollective.com/sustainoss/eve…

@SustainOSS @dudley @wescarr_ Big thanks to @jdorfman and @richlitt for having us on the podcast and making us sound more coherent than we are IRL.

Dudley Carr (@dudley) and Wes Carr (@wescarr_) share all things @stackaid, their backgrounds, some of their long-term goals, and exciting things on the horizon for StackAid. Listen at 🎙️ podcast.sustainoss.org/152

It's important for OSS projects to be discoverable whether they are on npmjs.com, GitHub, or some other code host. There's a long tail of great projects that use independent code hosts. If you want us to add your project to @sourcegraph's index, ping me!
