A command-line tool for transparent, automated distribution of cryptocurrency donations to open-source contributors and dependencies via GitHub Actions.
LibreSelery is a command-line tool that automates the distribution of cryptocurrency donations to open-source project contributors and their dependencies. It runs via GitHub Actions, using transparent metrics to allocate funds fairly and continuously, reducing reliance on centralized donation platforms.
Open-source maintainers and organizations seeking to transparently reward contributors and support upstream dependencies through automated, configurable funding distribution.
It offers a decentralized, self-hosted alternative to donation platforms, with full transparency, customizable payout algorithms, and seamless integration into existing GitHub workflows.
Continuous distribution of funding to your project contributors and dependencies. Integrated into GitHub Actions
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Automatically publishes detailed transaction histories and visualizations in the GitHub wiki, ensuring full transparency for donors and contributors as described in the features.
Allows customization of payout weights based on commit activity and other metrics via selery.yml, enabling project-specific fair compensation strategies.
Scans project dependencies via Libraries.io to allocate funds to upstream open-source projects, helping strengthen the broader ecosystem.
Includes a simulation mode to test payout distributions without real transactions, allowing safe fine-tuning of configurations before live use.
The project is explicitly marked as deprecated with no replacement, meaning no bug fixes, security updates, or new features will be added.
Currently only supports Coinbase for payouts, with other methods like Uphold or GNU Taler listed as future work but unimplemented, restricting flexibility.
Requires managing Docker, multiple API keys (GitHub, Coinbase, Libraries.io), and cryptocurrency wallets, which can be error-prone and intimidating for newcomers.
