    I'm working in the "plant" to "internet" space you mentioned and seeing this first-hand. Would be very keen to have a chat if you have the time please. Email in bio.

    Hi! Thanks for trying it out. I have reached out via email but just in case, looks like your account is configured for only first level dependencies. If you increase it to 3 levels…

    Hi Koito17 Thanks for trying it out! Are you able to ping me your github handle so I can get to the bottom of it (email in profile). Alternatively, for multi-project repos you can …

    Donations are only allocated to the projects in the dependency tree that have signed up with thanks.dev. In the Sentry list for example if you click the more link at the bottom you…
