Flattr was a kind of a version of that (although billed as "donations"), and it recently shut down. https://flattr.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
There was https://flattr.com/ and, more recently, https://twitter.com/coil But, yes, a complete chicken-and-egg problem. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
I think Flattr does exactly this https://flattr.com/ but it looks like they may have changed their business model recently. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
This kind of looks like https://flattr.com/ but specifically for dev/dependencies. Not sure I like that there's "only" a two-month limit in which funds can be claimed, though. Some developers could be very busy or get caught up with other stuff and not hear about their accumulated funds before the "expire". Some might also think it's a phishing scam if they haven't heard of StackAid before. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
I think this is one of the problems flattr tries to solve. Instead of multiple micro transactions you make one larger transaction each month to flattr, who then divides it up to all the creators you want to support. I don't know how Patreon does it, if they make one charge for each creator you support I guess the transactions fees can become a large part of the total amount. https://flattr.com/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
I'm thinking of using some bug bounty type of services to speed up bugfixes and adding new features, anyone has experience with it? I mean services like https://www.bountysource.com/ , https://gitpay.me/ or https://issuehunt.io/. Source: almost 3 years ago
I don't think we have a good model for monetary rewards for maintenance. If Haskell.org was providing support contracts covering a wide range of libraries, I would guess a lot of companies would use the option. However, signing a support contract with a maintainer of every dependency I have is infeasible. Things like Gitpay (bounties for PRs) have been tried time and again, and they never take off.
