I’ve been thinking about open source work that sits between “side project” and “venture-backed startup.” Watching the atproto space has sharpened my thinking around shared, communal infrastructure.
These are some thoughts on why that middle path eroded and what it might take to rebuild it.

The Missing Middle of Open Source
Why serious, maintainer-driven projects struggle to sustain themselves—and what it will take to fix it.

what I love most about open source is the community 😊
... and I think that's what makes nuxt and vite so special to everyone involved ❤️
I'm glad @patak.dev is willing to join me as a steward of npmx 🙏

 [community](https://bsky.app/profile/danielroe.dev/post/3md47mg7qjs22) that it would be big, and I invited patak to join two days later.
it's impossible to believe that it's been less than a week since we started inviting close allies and trusted folk. we're already at 75+ npmx contributors, and around 200 people on the server now, which is an outstanding percentage.
so now seems like a good time to make explicit what 'npmx' is:
we're open-source and for the good of the web
we're a community project, built by all of us
it might be a bit early for it, but patak and I have drafted a governance doc to set out a bit about how we want to steward npmx. it's short but we'll be filling it out more as we go on.
we've also created an opencollective so we can help support the community and hopefully, one day, help other similar projects.
we want to make the experience of using npmjs better for us and for others. and the joy of open source is that we can do that together! I hope it goes without saying, but thank you ❤️
we'd love your thoughts on the document and on the project 🙏](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jbeaa5kdaladzwq3r7f5xgwe/bafkreie5llrqiqez75hvyang2j62bvd4fbip4fmzb5jkltoiygplhlzjea@jpeg)

Really wishing that somebody would hire my company (@igalia.com) to standardize/implement support for import maps in web workers.

curl will be stopping its bounty program at the end of this month
I personally expected this to happen due to many low-effort AI slop bug reports, which caused maintainers waste time and energy reproducing non-existent bugs.
Curious to see how AI can affect other things in OSS

I want this next generation of software development tools to run on my own computer. Vim and Emacs helped democratize software development and made it accessible. We shouldn't allow this AI wave to take us backwards.
I really hope the open source community can keep pace.

There's not much I can do, but I am sure I can ask people to star the repository on GitHub.
They need 9 stars to reach a total of 92K stars 🤩
To show support we can do this at least.
Thanks @adamwathan for making the project!
