How It Works

1. Searches GitHub for issues with bounty labels (💎 Bounty, $XX, etc.)
2. Parses dollar amounts from labels
3. Filters by your criteria (language, amount, competition)
4. Optionally watches and notifies you of new bounties

Supported Bounty Platforms

• Algora — 💎 Bounty label
• BountyHub
• Manual bounties ($ in issue title/labels)

Tips for Earning

1. Act fast — bounties get claimed quickly
2. Start small — $20-50 bounties have less competition
3. Focus on repos that actually pay — check if repo has "💰 Rewarded" label on closed issues
4. Read the issue carefully — match acceptance criteria exactly
5. Submit clean PRs — tests, docs, follows project conventions
