It's a good idea. There should be an easy way for a small team to capture the value that their open source project creates. There are a variety of crowdfunding platforms like Patreon that are doing something similar. CodeMill and Bountysource are paying developers directly for adding features.
- blackrock 8y agoInteresting idea. Maybe a software repository site, where users must watch a 30 second commercial, before they can download the software. Then a percentage of the profits made from selling that commercial is shared with the programmer. Sounds like sourceforge, but I don't know how that site is monetized, or if they share the revenues with the project creators.
