Title: We strongly believe working on open source software should be a viable source of income for many more developers. Unfortunately, the following barriers limit the extent of open source funding:<p>- Only a small fraction of open source projects are funded, and most money goes to a few notable projects.<p>- Each project has to market is self to get significant funding.<p>- Large corporate donations provide the bulk of the funding, making it unreliable and unattainable for many.<p>- Finding and supporting each of your dependencies is a cumbersome task. Which ones, how much, and on which platforms?<p>So we built StackAid, a service that automatically discovers and funds your direct and indirect (second order) open source dependencies with a monthly subscription. StackAid is early and has a unique allocation model, so we&#x27;re working with supporters and open source projects to validate the experience further. We&#x27;re matching subscriptions up to $100&#x2F;month during the beta.
