I'm working in the "plant" to "internet" space you mentioned and seeing this first-hand. Would be very keen to have a chat if you have the time please. Email in bio.

With every haphazard decision we're getting a very public experiment demonstrating the value of "giving people what they want" vs "everything else". It's astonishing how resilient the network effects behind the

The open source community in general needs to pay more attention to this space – not just the python ecosystem. More maintainers need to know that well intentioned people are proposing policies that would in some instances make them financi

Hi! Thanks for trying it out. I have reached out via email but just in case, looks like your account is configured for only first level dependencies. If you increase it to 3 levels it'll show much better results. You're also able

You're right @fmx. Have now updated the FAQ per helpfulclippy's suggestion. Thanks for pointing this out!

Thanks quickthrower2! Re gaming the system you're totally right. Although slightly unintuitive, we've also heard the opposite from maintainers. That they'll be motivated to remove the silly one line packages from their depend

Our take on this is that funds should distribute across the dependency tree. We currently facilitate trickling your budget 3 levels deep. https://thanks.dev/static/how covers this in more detail.

Thanks for your kind words and trying it out @djaouen! Please don't hesitate to ping me if you need anything (email in profile).

Hi Animesh! The biggest difference would be that TD answers both "who should I sponsor AND how much?". It continually calculates the weight of each dependency in your codebase and distributes your monthly budget accordingly. The n

Hi Koito17 Thanks for trying it out! Are you able to ping me your github handle so I can get to the bottom of it (email in profile). Alternatively, for multi-project repos you can add a thanks.yaml file to the root of the repo with a `maxDe

Donations are only allocated to the projects in the dependency tree that have signed up with thanks.dev. In the Sentry list for example if you click the more link at the bottom you'll see all the projects that hadn't signed in. Th

Not sure I understand the question correctly, but the way it's working is that Sentry have allocated a monthly budget to be distributed to their dependency tree. That budget gets trickled down to the projects that have signed in. The l

It's definitely opt in. Sorry I just noticed the FAQs weren't up to date – should be fixed now. You can see the break down of Sentry's donation at https://thanks.dev/p/gh/getsentry . The feedback has

Only projects that sign in are receiving funds. thanks.dev only makes money from tips at time of donation. The minimum withdrawal amount is $1 and that's a UI limitation mostly. Good idea re the global blacklist being overridable by th

Hi HN, This is a great initiative in supporting open source. I’m the founder of https://thanks.dev mentioned in the article and I’ve been speaking to a lot of community members over the last year. There’s a lot of great work bei

Following this hint turns out I had left out the `replace={true}` prop on react router's Navigate component. Thank you for taking the time to point me in the right direction!

Apologies for that. I've disabled the default redirect to /home for now so that shouldn't happen anymore. Will figure out the correct solution asap. Thanks for letting me know!

This list is maintained by Nadia Eghbal of "Working in public" fame. Great summary of the different mechanisms. I'm working on something in this space. Would love some feedback. Putting final touches to it at https:/&#x

Consequence of religion mixing with government leading to polarization and loss of respect for diversity.

Disappointing to see the top comments are not encouraging of your efforts. This is not an easy undertaking and it's clear you've put a lot of time into it – you should be commended. I wish you the best of luck and look forward to

Not disagreeing but this assumes Silicon Valley budgets for startups. The story may be different if you're not funded yet and in discovery mode or if you're bootstrapping.

It's great to see more discussion in this space. The way I see it: 1) It's really difficult to donate to Open Source; 2) Companies don't get enough value in exchange for donating – They are businesses and think in dollars &am

Open market dynamics should in theory change this one way or another. Long term you can't have some code cost $0 while an SVE's code costs $300k+ per year... Reality is open source code is badly mispriced right now.
