Show HN: IssuePay – Get paid for open-source contributions

Hi HN! I’m Mario, and I’m about to launch IssuePay.
Problem: Open-source contributors don’t get direct financial recognition for their work. Solution: IssuePay lets maintainers post bounties on GitHub/GitLab issues. Contributors pick tasks, merge code, and get paid automatically. You can then withdraw your earnings directly to your Bank Account.
Try it out: https://issuepay.app
Questions: Would love feedback on our UX, payout reliability, or any scaling tips.
Note: Open to partnerships with OSS communities!
Thank you, guys ! <3
The idea behind the platform is to help folks who might not code themselves, like companies or users, pay developers to improve the projects they care about. So if you use or rely on a project, you can create sponsor issues, and the devs get paid for their work.
It also gives companies a chance to see top talent in action by watching contributors work on real open-source projects before hiring them.
Sure, it doesn’t magically fix the whole “maintainers getting paid” problem, but it’s a way to get stuff done and reward contributors.
