with Stripe we support fast & secure payments for organizations, compliance, reporting and payouts to contributors in 118 countries what's wasting people's time here? is there a specific alternative you'd like to see or?

hey kybernetikos, appreciate your input here! wanted to clarify that contributors get 100% of the bounty our fee is paid by the bounty creator (org) on top of the award

amazing receiving feedback like this, thank you for putting all this thought! non-commercial open source orgs usually lack the budget for bounties, and so they'd miss out on this utility. we shipped a sponsorships feature in february (

hey alice, thank you for your message. leafwing-studios looks really cool! we'd definitely appreciate your thoughts on this one, will email you :)

we actually don't take a cut off the bounty. rather, our fee is paid by the bounty creator (org) on top of the award. contributors get 100% of the bounty :) thank you for your feedback here and sharing your story!

interesting. in this scenario, who would end up implementing the feature & earning the bounty? a maintainer, a contributor or either? as noted above, the dynamics of this feature can be tricky, but we're open to give it a try once

we're sad to hear you feel this way. not sure OpenCollective is an appropriate reference/comparison, but your point is duly noted. in order to ensure we can continue providing value to the open source community, we need to make su

if companies try bounties, are satisfied and would like to utilize them at a bigger scale, we offer the option to pre-pay fees at a discount for a bounties budget of their choice. there's definitely room for experimentation here. that

thank you for your input! the best way to ensure everyone has a great experience is to spec & scope bounty issues + provide acceptance criteria. you can look at Remotion's 17 completed bounties, where specs & acceptance criteri

excellent question, thanks! correct, at the moment only Orgs create & pay bounties crowdfunding bounties amongst users of OSS for features they'd like to see is a very interesting concept indeed and could help. however, it may also

we will update our docs accordingly about the assignment flow, thank you for noting this AlexITC! regarding your last point, yeah this use case is very tricky, indeed there is no guarantee that the upstream project will accept the change. i

thank you so much Marc!! super excited to have IHP on Algora, we love how the project streamlines web development in Haskell and helps new developers get started, really appreciate working together!

fantastic feedback, thank you so much for all your input AlexITC!! regarding the potential issues you noted: 1. developers get assigned by the maintainers/core-team so there is no duplication of effort, there are never multiple develop

that's a great question, thank you Drunken_Founder! haven't experienced something like this. because everything is public, we think that acts as a deterrence for people to do what you described. in addition, we closely keep track

couldn't agree more, why limit bounties to just bugs/security rather than apply them to OSS product development broadly. thank you for your input!

did you read the blog post though? :) Kevin Hale at Wufoo (YC W06) did contract work for a month instead of interviews. Is that not "give candidates real work & pay them for their time"? Thomas paid every engineer who did a &#

submarine charade, that's pretty funny lol. The principle of engineers evaluating engineers based on real work remains the same, whether it's for an internship, flexwork, junior or senior roles, no?

by irf1 4y ago
I'd call it an early experiment and what we could afford at the time to evaluate candidates for a SWE summer internship. Maybe other companies will like this approach and offer challenges that pay much better, with different setups &am
