Please, keep in mind there is ZERO FUNDING for my projects.

• HVM

  107 7,101 6.7 Rust

  A massively parallel, optimal functional runtime in Rust

  

It's important to leverage your community instead of trying to do everything yourself. I don't see any issues on Kind's board that use the help wanted label, and on HVM I see issues tagged with good first issue that seem more complex than most first-time contributors would want to take on. For example, "Windows Support" for HVM, which seems nontrivial at a glance: https://github.com/Kindelia/HVM/issues/52

• Kind

  21 2,565 9.5 Rust

  Discontinued A next-gen functional language [Moved to: https://github.com/Kindelia/Kind2] (by Kindelia)

  

For these who don't know, I'm the author of Kind and HVM. I've recently seen a criticism from an influent person in the community, who I often took as an inspiration, that made me really sad. "the guy behind this has built some impressive-sounding stuff before... it looks like his projects tend to just... go nowhere and he just abandons them and does something else?"

• openfare

• luau-rs

  2 16 7.5 Rust

  Discontinued Rust Bindings to Roblox's Luau

I've been asked twice to switch away from GPL and the argument is always that it limits who can use my work. Usually the argument goes past that and tries to stress just how seriously, debilitatingly, unusable my library becomes by being GPL-licensed.

• lua-lexer

  1 16 1.1 Lua

  Discontinued A Lua lexer written in pure Lua.

My answer is always that I use the MIT license where appropriate, and the GPL license where appropriate, and therefore I'm not accepting requests to change my license just because it does what it's intended to do.

• LoganDark

  1 0 10.0

• libkeyfinder

  3 101 5.9 C++

  Musical key detection for digital audio, GPL v3

  

I've been asked this too, even though I didn't even write the library! I just forked an unmaintained library to replace its build system.

• WorkOS

  workos.com sponsored

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• Bountysource

  26 622 0.0 Ruby

  Bountysource is the funding platform for open-source software. (by bountysource)

  

There is a website called BountySource that I think is meant to do what you describe. I've never actually used it though.
