OpenFare: Donations which reach every crate contributor.
Hello,
OpenFare is a funding protocol for software contributors. Written in Rust!
With OpenFare you can split a $1 donation between every contributor in your project's software dependency tree.
Payment methods and a contributor split scheme is included within a crate and handled programmatically. Which means that:
- Contributors can receive proportionate donations.
- Donations reach less popular but critical software libraries.
- Contributors are paid directly. Project owners don't handle funds.
- OpenFare is free from gatekeepers or lock-in user accounts. A decentralized alternative to GitHub sponsors, OpenCollective, and Patreon.
I hope this community will find it helpful! Be sure to reach out in our Matrix chat room if you feel like it.
