Ask HN: FOSS Projects Worth Donating To?

• Ampache

  97 3,447 9.9 PHP

  A web based audio/video streaming application and file manager allowing you to access your music & videos from anywhere, using almost any internet enabled device.

  

Ampache has been around for a long time. When it first started at a college I donated beer but they also accept money. [1] I think they would prefer contributions in the form of software development. [2]

• serenity

  240 28,555 10.0 C++

  The Serenity Operating System 🐞

  

I donate to those two:

- SerenityOS [0], they do get some donations, but nothing close to the Linux Foundation, Wikipedia, or Mozilla.

- MikroORM [1] if you're interested in TypeScript in the backend, again some donations, but nothing close to SerenityOS!
