The project is widely used by large companies and the maintainers believe that financial support is necessary for future growth. Sponsoring the project will enable one of the maintainers to work one day a week on open source, primarily focusing on \`oapi-codegen\`. Different sponsorship tiers are being considered, including bug/feature bounties and listed sponsorship on the project's README. The maintainers also want companies to consider using platforms like Tidelift to pay maintainers for software they use. The project has plans for improving community management, documentation, stability, and tooling, among other areas. The maintainers encourage developers and companies to sponsor the project to help make it a more sustainable priority. 12 [See all Community archives](/tags/community/best-of) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"CollectionPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/tags/community/best-of/2024/05#page","url":"https://daily.dev/tags/community/best-of/2024/05","name":"Best Community Posts — May 2024","description":"The most upvoted Community posts from May 2024, curated by the daily.dev community.","isPartOf":{"@type":"WebSite","url":"https://daily.dev"}},{"@type":"ItemList","@id":"https://daily.dev/tags/community/best-of/2024/05#items","numberOfItems":6,"itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/open-source-is-neither-a-community-nor-a-democracy-e1p4q0ehs","name":"Open source is neither a community nor a democracy"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/how-to-become-an-open-source-project-maintainer-dgifs8uuy","name":"How to Become an Open Source Project Maintainer"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/why-am-i-continuing-to-bet-on-flutter-acplrjs0j","name":"Why am I continuing to bet on Flutter"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/how-to-join-the-freecodecamp-discord-server-and-chat-with-fellow-campers-z4dodf6co","name":"How to Join the freeCodeCamp Discord Server and Chat with Fellow Campers"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":6,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/community-is-a-tamagotchi-1mwalk6xt","name":"Community is a Tamagotchi"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":7,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/creating-a-more-sustainable-model-for-oapi-codegen-in-the-future-jamie-tanna-z5zoznfba","name":"Creating a more sustainable model for `oapi-codegen` in the future · Jamie Tanna"}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Tags","item":"https://daily.dev/tags"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Community","item":"https://daily.dev/tags/community"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"name":"Best of","item":"https://daily.dev/tags/community/best-of"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"name":"May 2024"}]}]} ```
