How do you deal with the issue that a project might split itself in multiple modular parts to maximize the income from this scheme?
If StackAid becomes popular, I could see developers going that route to maximize their income.
- nevernude 4y agoGood question. There are a few factors that I think will mitigate this concern. - You still have to get developers to use and depend on these new projects. - Allocation happens on a per subscription basis, so to realistically take advantage of this scheme, you will need many developers to adopt your new projects. - Subscribers who notice maintainers doing this will be incentivized to vote with their dollars and change their dependencies to projects that aren't engaging in this behavior.
- spullara 4y agoA more likely optimization would be to remove dependencies by copying their code into your repository if it has a permissive license.
- waynesonfire 4y agoi can manage my dependency list just fine and don't need an org to help me do that. i'd like a service that allows me to send payment to a dependency, i'll take it from there.
