Show HN: Build a business from an open source project using Gitwallet

15 pointsby nwpwr10 months ago
Gitwallet is a set tools to make it easier for people to setup a business around an open source project.<p>Here&#x27;s what you get out of the box:<p>1. Easy to setup commercial offerings tied to a GitHub project, like paid support, consulting or training (we provide the default legal contracts for some of these and will add more).<p>2. Tools to promote your services like Landing pages and Embeds for your Github.<p>3. Research tools to find customers that are using your open source projects. This is a actionable view of your dependents graph, and works best for projects that are distributed through a package manager.<p>4. Light CRM, reporting and contract management. These will eventually integrate with the best in class CRM, reporting and analytics tools.<p>Some more notes on our thinking: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.gitwallet.co&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.gitwallet.co&#x2F;</a>. We think that there should be a better way for more commerce to happen around open source projects and ecosystems.<p>We&#x27;re looking for feedback from folks within and around open source - this could be existing maintainers, contributors, and indie developers that are considering building a business around their project or expertise.<p>Thank you for your time &amp; feedback!

This looks awesome! As a developer, I&#x27;ve always wanted an easy way to turn my open source projects into a business. Gitwallet&#x27;s tools for setting up paid services, promoting them, and finding customers are exactly what we need.
