Show HN: OpenPledge – Make a career with Open Source contributions (derp.foo)

submitted 10 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Hey!

As a full-stack developer involved in world of open source, I've often encountered valuable repositories with solutions to my problems, only to find them abandoned for years. Faced with the dilemma of contributing to such projects during work hours, I thought of a solution.

That's when the concept of OpenPledge was born — a web platform designed to address this very issue by allowing users (or corporations) to financially support specific open source issues. Imagine, no more abandoned projects, and developers passionate about contributing to open source can now do so more seamlessly and as a full time job.

OpenPledge has secured investment, and we're set to launch in February. Join us in shaping the future of open source sustainability.

Share your ideas, be an early adopter, and contribute to a thriving open source community. Visit https://openpledge.io?source=hn2 now!
