Nutrient – The #1 PDF SDK Library, trusted by 10K+ developers
Other PDF SDKs promise a lot - then break. Laggy scrolling, poor mobile UX, tons of bugs, and lack of support cost you endless frustrations. Nutrient’s SDK handles billion-page workloads - so you don’t have to debug PDFs. Used by ~1 billion end users in more than 150 different countries.

The Log4j bug exposes a bigger issue: Open-source funding
I recently started a list of OSS projects that actually pay (some of them pretty well) for contributions: https://github.com/kunovsky/paid-open-source-projects. The list is pretty short right but, but as an industry, I'd love to see a shift towards compensating people fairly for their time. Yes, we all love and support open source but when it comes down to brass tacks we should compensate developers (who are choosing to spend their free time contributing instead of doing other work) for their efforts. It doesn't have to be much, but the more opportunities we create like this the more incentive there is for developers to put in the work. To be clear, I'm not saying that every OSS project should pay. But do what you can if and when it makes sense.

whats the best bounty hunt program for foss projects?
I really liked rysolv but the project is currently broken and unmaintained, fixing it does not seem like too much of a problem.

I built a functional, beautiful Spotify clone 🐧
I would advice against it, people might not like to contribute to a permissive licensed project as they will worry it will become closed source (like reddit) , see this and this for more.

The joy, the pride and the burden of maintaining open source
That's pretty much rysolv (there are other platforms for that, but last i checked they are not as good).
-
What it feels like to be an open-source maintainer.
There is this weird glitch with chromium that it sometimes does not work under certain types of links, but for some it works well, i fixed it and it should . the bug is also reported here.
-
Is there a paid service that promises to fix Linux issues?
Websites prove their identity via certificates, which are valid for a set time period. The certificate for www.rysolv.com expired on 7/28/2022.

What do you think about paying for open-source contributions?
The numbers do seem a little too small, i think it should be viable economically for freelance developers to work on this, you might also want to provide links to rysolv (The best open source platform for bounties last i checked IMO) to allow third party to also contribute bounties.
-
What are some good open source JavaScript/TypeScript to contribute to?
