Hello world! We’re here to get OSS maintainers paid and chew bubblegum. And we’re all out of gum.
#PayTheMaintainers
this is how it's done 👇👏
do you know a company that should join next? put them in the replies!
ScreenshotOne is now officially a member of the Open Source Pledge (opensourcepledge.com/).
Thanks, Zeke, for the suggestion to join.
The pledge will help me be more systematic and intentional about supporting open-source maintainers and projects I value and want to see thrive.
If you run a software company that relies on open source, consider joining too.
Be like @coderabbitai. Sponsor OSS maintainers. 🙌
Support for more Open Source projects coming soon 😍
I love doing this, its amazing that @CodeRabbit cares so much about OSS and I can collaborate with all this amazing projects and OSS maintainers
in times like these, I'm very happy that @sanity_io put some of our @ThePledge dollars on the good folks at @pnpmjs 🫡
(and we made it our mandated package manager internally)

I tip my hat to everyone out there that is doing the thankless, unpaid work to ensure their environments & software stays safe/secure. At @vltpkg we're giving back (ex. @ThePledge) & building a package manager that attacks the last mile problem with a zero trust approach. – at Mississauga, Ontario
Welcome aboard, @muxhq!

Welcome aboard to our newest member company ... at a whopping $12,000 per dev! Well done! 🐰👏😁
Open source quietly powers everything from your terminal to your favorite frameworks, yet maintainers are often underfunded.
In 2025, CodeRabbit distributed over $600,000 directly to OSS maintainers, and we’re just getting started!
