Integrate StackAid in Slack
with Axolo

StackAid is a unique GitHub application that provides a simple and effective way to donate to all the open source software projects that you depend on. The platform operates by distributing your subscription fee among your projects' direct and indirect dependencies based on your project configuration (e.g., package.json). This way, you can support the open source community without the hassle of decision paralysis and mechanics of paying.

Open-source funding has been a challenge due to the overwhelming number of dependencies involved in even the most trivial projects. StackAid solves this problem by automatically dividing your monthly subscription amount evenly across all your direct dependencies. Each direct dependency then shares up to half of its allocation with its dependencies, ensuring that all the projects you depend on are adequately funded.

With StackAid, you can rest assured that your contribution is making a real difference in the open source community. The platform simplifies the donation process and ensures that your subscription fee is distributed equitably among all the projects you depend on. By using StackAid, you can support the open source community without the hassle of managing multiple donations or worrying about decision paralysis.
