Show HN: Recursive Donations to support Open Source maintainers

Thanks for the links. Very useful. As a company that relies on open-source and wants to donate some (limited) money, we're facing a challenge. How do we easily donate a fixed sum every year/month and make sure it goes to open-source projects we depend on.

I tried https://backyourstack.com and uploaded our Gemfile.lock (rubygems) to try to match it with opencollective projects. It detected 249 dependencies but zero projects that require funding on opencollective :(

Do you have any advice on how to go about it? we really want to contribute back, but it seems like an impossible task right now.

EDIT: btw both www.libraries.io and www.repology.org cannot resolve DNS for me... are they gone?

Hey, exactly that problem do we want to solve! Good to hear that more people want to donate but face this problem.

The links btw are: https://libraries.io/ and https://repology.org
