The problem it solves

You keep refreshing GitHub search results hoping to spot a paid bounty before someone else claims it, and you still miss good ones because you weren't looking at the right moment. Tracking which bounties are still open becomes its own chore.

Who it fits

Freelance developers or small dev teams hunting for paid open-source work.

How it works

  1. Every hour, the system searches GitHub for new bounty-labeled issues
  2. it skips anything already logged so you don't see duplicates
  3. each new bounty is added to a spreadsheet with its details
  4. the status is rechecked every few hours
  5. you get a styled email or WhatsApp alert so you can claim it fast
What you get

Paid bounties spotted before other freelancers claim them

You get instant alerts the moment a new paid bounty issue appears so you can jump on it first.

What you get

An up-to-date spreadsheet of open bounties, plus real-time alerts when new ones appear.

What you need

A Google Sheets account and an email or WhatsApp Business account for alerts.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
