IssueHunt：一个新的开源软件打赏平台
FOSS 打赏
![IssueHunt](/data/attachment/album/201811/28/221113o2hzssma7h5ah79a.jpg)


许多开源开发者和公司都在努力解决的问题之一就是资金问题。社区中有一种假想，甚至是期望，必须免费提供自由开源软件（FOSS）。但即使是 FOSS 也需要资金来继续开发。如果我们不建立让软件持续开发的系统，我们怎能期待更高质量的软件？


我们已经写了一篇关于[开源资金平台](https://itsfoss.com/open-source-funding-platforms/)的文章来试图解决这个缺点，截至今年 7 月，市场上出现了一个新的竞争者，旨在帮助填补这个空白：[IssueHunt](https://issuehunt.io)。


### IssueHunt: 开源软件打赏平台


![IssueHunt website](/data/attachment/album/201811/28/221115p2amjos22ojik4dk.png)


IssueHunt 提供了一种服务，对自由开发者的开源代码贡献进行支付。它通过所谓的赏金来实现：给予解决特定问题的任何人财务奖励。这些奖励的资金来自任何愿意捐赠以修复任何特定 bug 或添加功能的人。


如果你想修复的某个开源软件存在问题，你可以根据自己选择的方式提供奖励金额。


想要自己的产品被争抢解决么？在 IssueHunt 上向任何解决问题的人提供奖金就好了。就这么简单。


如果你是程序员，则可以浏览未解决的问题。解决这个问题（如果你可以的话），在 GitHub 存储库上提交拉取请求，如果你的拉取请求被合并，那么你就会得到了钱。


#### IssueHunt 最初是 Boostnote 的内部项目


当笔记应用 [Boostnote](https://itsfoss.com/boostnote-linux-review/) 背后的开发人员联系社区为他们的产品做出贡献时，该产品出现了。


在使用 IssueHunt 的前两年，Boostnote 通过数百名贡献者和压倒性的捐款收到了超过 8,400 个 Github star。


该产品非常成功，团队决定将其开放给社区的其他成员。


如今，[列表中在使用这个服务的项目](https://issuehunt.io/repos)提供了数千美元的赏金。


Boostnote 号称有 [$2,800 的总赏金](https://issuehunt.io/repos/53266139)，而 Settings Sync，以前称为 Visual Studio Code Settings Sync，提供了[超过 $1,600 的赏金](https://issuehunt.io/repos/47984369)。


还有其他服务提供类似于 IssueHunt 在此提供的内容。也许最引人注目的是 [Bountysource](https://www.bountysource.com/)，它提供与 IssueHunt 类似的赏金服务，同时还提供类似于 [Librepay](https://liberapay.com/) 的订阅支付处理。


#### 你怎么看待 IssueHunt？


在撰写本文时，IssueHunt 还处于起步阶段，但我非常高兴看到这个项目在这些年里的成果。


我不知道你会怎么看，但我非常乐意为 FOSS 付款。如果产品质量高，并为我的生活增添价值，那么我很乐意向开发者支付产品费用。特别是 FOSS 的开发者正在创造尊重我自由的产品。


话虽如此，我一定会关注 IssueHunt 的继续前进，我可以用自己的钱或者在需要贡献的地方传播这个它来支持社区。


但你怎么看？你是否同意我的看法，或者你认为软件应该免费提供，并且应该在志愿者的基础上做出贡献？请在下面的评论中告诉我们你的想法。

OK
One of the issues that many open-source developers and companies struggle with is funding. There is an assumption, an expectation even, among the community that Free and Open Source Software must be provided free of cost. But even FOSS needs funding for continued development. How can we keep expecting better quality software if we don’t create systems that enable continued development?

We already wrote an article about [open source funding platforms](https://itsfoss.com/open-source-funding-platforms/) out there that try to tackle this shortcoming, as of this July there is a new contender in the market that aims to help fill this gap: [IssueHunt](https://issuehunt.io).

## IssueHunt: A Bounty Hunting platform for Open Source Software

![IssueHunt website](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2018/09/issuehunt-website.png)

IssueHunt offers a service that pays freelance developers for contributing to open-source code. It does so through what are called bounties: financial rewards granted to whoever solves a given problem. The funding for these bounties comes from anyone who is willing to donate to have any given bug fixed or feature added.

If there is a problem with a

Do you want your own product snapped? Offer a bounty on IssueHunt to whoever snaps it. It’s as simple as that.

And if you are a programmer, you can browse through open issues. Fix the issue (if you could), submit a pull request on the GitHub repository and if your pull request is merged, you get the money.

### IssueHunt was originally an internal project for Boostnote

![IssueHunt](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2018/09/issuehunt.jpg)

The product came to be when the developers behind the note-taking app [Boostnote](https://itsfoss.com/boostnote-linux-review/) reached out to the community for contributions to their own product.

In the first two years of utilizing IssueHunt, Boostnote received over 8,400 Github stars through hundreds contributors and overwhelming donations.

The product was so successful that the team decided to open it up to the rest of the community.

Today, [a list of projects utilize this service](https://issuehunt.io/repos), offering thousands of dollars in bounties among them.

Boostnote boasts [$2,800 in total bounties](https://issuehunt.io/repos/53266139), while Settings Sync, previously known as Visual Studio Code Settings Sync, offers [more than $1,600 in bounties.](https://issuehunt.io/repos/47984369)

There are other services that provide something similar to what IssueHunt is offering here. Perhaps the most notable is [Bountysource](https://www.bountysource.com/), which offers a similar bounty service to IssueHunt, while also offering subscription payment processing similar to [Librepay](https://liberapay.com/).

### What do you think of IssueHunt?

At the time of writing this article, IssueHunt is in its infancy, but I am incredibly excited to see where this project ends up in the comings years.

I don’t know about you, but I am more than happy paying for FOSS. If the product is high quality and adds value to my life, then I will happily pay the developer the product. Especially since FOSS developers are creating products that respect my freedom in the process.

That being said, I will definitely keep my eye on IssueHunt moving forward for ways I can support the community either with my own money or by spreading the word where contribution is needed.

But what do you think? Do you agree with me, or do you think software should be Gratis free, and that contributions should be made on a volunteer basis? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
