I like the "maintainer stays in control" part, but isn't that also a problem in a way? The AI provider gets paid, the platform gets paid (20% is a lot in my opinion!), and the maintainer gets more unpaid work: another PR to plan, review, revise, merge, and then maintain... that's a lot of work. If people are willing to fund an issue, why should that money mainly cover LLM tokens rather than maintainer effort? Or at l…

Tokens are better than money. They let you train your skills to get top 1% on LeetPrompt so you have an entry in the lottery to interview for your next temp position.

I really dislike it but the effectiveness of code generation is just too good now. I really doubted it at first but I can churn out 10x the work. Is it the same quality as IC? no but I think that it doesn't matter anymore. How many of us have worked on some 10+m loc monstrosity for years never knowing more than 1% of the codebase? Probably most. Now I can generate that same monstrosity on my own. I've created a 1.1m+…

Is your question why would I want to own my own money making machine? IDK call me crazy I guess.

Then you offer to pay the maintainer their consulting rate to do it if they are willing.

That's one way to go about it, but doesn't exactly work when one has targeted requirements in 20 different projects.

Then fork or just write a wrapper. Maintainers don’t actually owe you anything. Open source is a gift.

Probably an oversight on my part. I was thinking that backers would find out about CleverCrow through the project maintainers so the public pages are repo specific. As an aside, when you do login, CleverCrow shows projects that you've starred on GitHub to help find things you might want to support.

Oh nice! Does it also require my bank's password?

Full details on the permissions we request from GitHub are present here: https://app.clevercrow.io/github-access. Regarding bank access, all financial transactions are handled by Stripe in an incredibly conventional manner. Additional details on that in the privacy doc: https://app.clevercrow.io/privacy

For posterity: Through a bit of engineering work and better anomaly management, I’ve been able to get the platform fee down to 5%! I’m quite proud of this as there’s a lot of moving parts. In time I’ll probably be able to get it lower too which makes me happy (says the guy that tried to give his first startup away for free). :tada:
