OSS-bounties

We're building stuff. Want to help? Get paid.

What's This About?

Akong'a Labs posts development tasks as GitHub issues. You build the solution, submit a PR, and if it works, you get paid. Simple.

First valid submission wins. No beauty contests, no politics.

How It Works

1. Browse Issues - Check what bounties are available
2. Build & Submit - Create your solution, submit a PR
3. Get Paid - First working solution gets the money

⚠️ Payment Reality Check

We ONLY pay via Binance (USDT/USDC). No PayPal, no bank transfers, no Bitcoin, no exceptions.

Don't have Binance? Don't start working.

Can't use Binance in your country? Sorry, these bounties aren't for you.

Legal Stuff (The Important Bit)

Submit a PR = your code becomes open source. We can use it whether you win or not. That's the deal.

What We Actually Need

Tech Stack (non-negotiable):

• React + Vite
• React Router V7
• Node.js + Express
• PostgreSQL + Drizzle ORM
• TypeScript (no any types)
• Works with Bun (Yarn needs justification)

Quality Bars:

• Your code works
• Your code has tests for critical flows
• Your code explains itself (if we have to ask questions, you're out)
• You provide a working demo

Starter Template: saas-panda - use it or don't, up to you.

Getting Started

AI Tools

We included a .cursorrules file for AI editors like Cursor. Use AI, don't use AI - whatever gets the job done.
