"Algora helped us meet Nick, who started as an open source contributor, and after being contracted a few months, joined the Trigger founding team full-time.
It was the easiest hire and turned out to be very very good."

"We met Gergő from his open source contributions on Algora and contracted him to help us at Firecrawl. He's been working full-time with us for over a year now and is a key contributor to our product.
I think you realized this by now, but you have such a powerful sourcing/hiring engine in your hands!"

Use bounties for outcome-based contract work with full GitHub integration.

I posted our bounty on Upwork to try it, overall it's 1000x more friction than OSS bounties with Algora.

Let's offer a bounty to say "Hey, someone please prioritize this, who has the skillset for it?" I think long term I'd like to make it a very consistent part of our development process.
