A new idea for funding open source
- egypturnash 8y agotl;dr: Wouldn't it be cool if there was a tool that could scan your projects and find out which of your dependencies have Patreon campaigns going, to make it easier to kick in a few bucks for the stuff you're relying on?
- sbjs 8y agoYes! You're a lot more eloquent than me :)

- sdaros 8y agoI wrote a blog post recently along the same line (see https://cip.li/stefano/post/a-vision-for-a-new-supportive-web https://cip.li/stefano/post/a-vision-for-a-new-supportive-we...). However, if you're looking to volunteer and help an organization that's already making big strides, then you should definitely check out https://opencollective.com https://opencollective.com. They aren't doing any dependency analysis for existing projects yet, but I believe they are planning to implement that in the future.
