I'll pay you $100 for an Electron PR

20 points by bobblywobbles 7y ago

I didn't see anything in the guidelines that prevent me from posting this, so please if it's not allowed - I'll take this post down. There's a bug in Electron that I need fixed in order to implement a template I'm building. There is an open issue (https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/21437) but I do not have the time to solve this problem as the framework is large and I'm working on many things at once. I'll send you $100 to find and create a PR for this fix - whether that's a gift card or donation to your Github repo via sponsoring we'll figure that out!

For 100$ I will boot my computer.

  Yeah this should be a $1000 job but by the same token why should OP foot the entire bill. Ah! open source!

    That I cannot afford, sadly!

You'd probably want to take a look at https://gitpay.me/ https://gitpay.me/ or https://www.bountysource.com/ https://www.bountysource.com/

  Both of the platforms seem pretty inactive, but I can try - thanks!

Every time I see stuff like this I'm reminded that I really should find some way to dive deeper into programming/etc in general. I would like to be knowledgeable enough to solve something like this but have no idea how to approach wrapping my mind around it. I can poke at it here or there (I see there are many places in the framework where ipcrenderer is referenced..) but I always hit a brick wall. My knowledge level has always stalled at being able to look at the code and have a general idea of what is happening but not deep enough to contribute. Not sure how to make that leap.

  Spending 15 years writing code for 8 hours a day did the trick for me

    Can confirm this method also worked for me. Additionally it helps if you spend the rest of the day reading about it on HN.

      Hrm. Maybe I should just stick to my day job instead.

  Just wade in and around the code a bit, think about it. It always takes some time in a new codebase. We aren't all perfect, and it definitely doesn't come instantly to us as we all learn at our own pace! I've made some progress on the issue if you'd like to take a peak at it now.
