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 being done in the background that we don’t hear about and there’s an opportunity to do a lot more. I’ve learnt an immense amount since I’ve been working on this project and the diversity in thought & perspective I’ve encountered has been amazing!

Happy to chat if anyone is interested.

Big kudos to Chad & Sentry!

Ali,

Hi Ali, I just discovered your project and I have a question.

Why isn't it a public page with all the OSS projects that already have register maintainers and the one that have donation pending but with no maintainer registered?

Otherwise how do you notify maintainers of projects that did not join your platform that money is pending for them if they would register?

Nice to see the product finally live. I managed to connect my git account & the dependency tree breakdown is awesome. Great work Ali!

Many thanks for the encouraging words! :)

How do you decide how much money to allocate to a dependency? Especially in ecosystems like NodeJS where there are 1000s of dependencies for a single project. And most of the dependencies are very small, does trivial things but is used by a vast number of packages.
