Until is a platform designed to facilitate funding for open-source projects by enabling users to create time-limited bounties on specific GitHub issues. Key features include:
- Bounty Creation: Users can create bounties for any GitHub issue, specifying the amount and an expiry date.
- Crowdfunding: Contributions from multiple users are pooled together to fund the bounty.
- Time-Limited Donations: Donations are tied to an expiry date; if the issue is not resolved by then, contributors get refunded.
- For Maintainers: Tools and resources are available for open-source maintainers to manage and promote their bounties.
- For Contributors: A clear process to find and contribute to bounties on open-source projects.
Until aims to provide a transparent and efficient way to incentivize fast fixes and development in the open-source ecosystem. It caters to both those who want to fund specific issues and developers who want to contribute and earn from their work. The platform also includes a search feature to find bounties by entering GitHub issue URLs.
