CleverCrow · for maintainers

Your community funds the fix. The pool pays you when it merges.

Backers chip in on your open issues, raising the water until one is worth fixing. You ship the fix on your own terms, and the pool pays you when it merges. Nothing ships without your review, and nothing pays out without your merge.

Backings raise the water

CleverCrow is a GitHub App. You pick exactly which repos it can see, it never writes code, and nothing pays out until you merge a fix.

How the funding flows

Backings pool. You decide. Code ships, or it doesn't.

1
Backers chip in
Backers land on your open issues and back them with funds. The water rises as more pile on, and the money waits for a merged fix.
2
You ship the fix
When an issue is worth it, you fix it, on your terms, with your tools. Merge a pull request that closes the issue.
3
The pool pays you
Or it doesn't, if you never merge. Settlement is a flat 10% fee, 5% if you join as a founding maintainer, and the rest is yours, with a public line-item receipt.
