Show HN: Find simple open source bounties to solve and get paid

  • Looking at the prices here, tells you how programming is a cheap and a non-rewarding profession, changing your car oil will cost you ~$50 for less than 30min labor, and it doesn’t even require any mental focus or anything, exploitation at its finest. I’m glad the bounties I do are strictly cybersec related, at least it pays well.

  • i wonder what the ratio of work done to money really transferred is. How many of these end with either 1) work was done right but requestor doesn't pay or 2) work was not done right but money is demanded

  • This looks like a frontend to https://algora.io/

    It's not obvious what's the relationship between these two sites.

  • the very last entry is showing

    > Reward: $NaN

    (I would link to it but the entries themselves do not appear to have any self-link which is :-( even though they all have the hand icon as if they are clickable)

    I'd guess it's because there isn't a bounty amount rather some metrics https://github.com/getdozer/dozer/issues/1631#issuecomment-1...

    and then something has gone off the rails about the accounting process since

    links to https://github.com/triggerdotdev/trigger.dev-docs/issues/10 which is 404 (deleted? private? who knows)

  • zaf from algora.io here. looks like this person scraped the bounties from our site. we're not affiliated and we never ask folks to pay to share bounties

  • Great idea. You can’t ask for $10 to post a bounty though! You need more bounties on your site more than they need the nascent audience. You could add tinygrad bounties if you wish.
