The idea is nice, but it seems heavily reliant on GitHub:
> Owners of open source projects can claim their repositories by installing the StackAid GitHub app. As part of the claiming process, owners can associate one or more Stripe accounts with each repository they own to receive payments.
While I'll admit that most of the modern ecosystem thrives on this site, especially when looking at the javascript ecosystem, there's a fair amount of projects that do not use this site at all. Are there any plans to tackle those?
Also, the simulation[1] shows projects by meta and microsoft near the top. Since these are well-funded projects ran by huge companies, I'd be interested in excluding them from a donation graph, no matter what point in the tree they appear in. Is there any possibility of doing this?

- nevernude 4y agoAbsolutely. We'd like to support GitLab and Bitbucket next but had to pick a starting point and GitHub was an obvious choice. If there are other providers you think we should pursue, let me know.
- mid-kid 4y agoWhat about sr.ht, savannah.nongnu.org or self-hosted projects using cgit or gitea frontends, most of which lacking such integrations the likes of gitlab and bitbucket provide? I'm sure it's more difficult to support things like these, but I'm wondering how flexible the system is with regards to this.
