We 💜 open source!.
Our team is here to build the best possible experience for open source communities!
Requesting your help and support on this mission!
@aaronoleary Hello. Thanks.
We have an exhaustive library of badge themes for the projects to pick from and are working to add many more. Projects can also soon upload their own custom badges.
@aaronoleary We created a custom library for one of the projects with us too. https://aviyel.com/projects/11/b...
Building Aviyel was absolute pleasure. It's glad to see that community is pouring lots of love for this product. But we are in a very early stage and would love to hear feedback from all of you who want to see the opensource prosper and reach new heights.
@mendorshikh Thanks, MJ. I would like to know more about the Erxes as well. Kudos to you :)
Hey! I’m @jacobkpattara, one of the co-founders at Aviyel,
We are super excited to take Aviyel Rewards live on Product Hunt. 🚀 🚀 🚀 🚀
Open source projects are the lego blocks of the tech ecosystem and communities define open source projects. Aviyel is a platform designed for open source projects to build, engage and sustain great communities around them.
Aviyel Rewards is a delightful reward and recognition platform that can be used by open-source projects to thank, motivate and inspire the community. All contributions that move the community forward - code, content, writing documentation, answering a question, raising an issue or even a tweet - can be recognised and rewarded on Aviyel Rewards.
✅ Project maintainers can easily pick from a list of contributions to reward from across platforms and assign points ( seeds ) to each of these contributions. Contributions are mapped with retrospective effect and points are assigned to contributors.
✅ Points would unlock levels and each level would get the contributor a badge that can be minted as soulbound ( non-transferable ) NFTs along with a detailed log of their contribution history. Contributors can showcase these badges on their profiles and across the internet to build reputation, showcase their amazing work and inspire others.
✅ The soulbound NFTs would ensure that these badges are independent of platforms ( even Aviyel ) and truly owned by the contributor.
✅ These badges are designed to be gate passes for exclusive events, tickets to activities and goods in the physical world and a bunch of really exciting use cases that we have in store. (We would also love your feedback and ideas on how we can make this even more interesting)
We are launching with contributions on GitHub and would be adding more contribution types from across platforms over the coming days and weeks.
Maintainer?
⬇️
Maintainers can easily sign up to Aviyel (aviyel.com) and onboard your project in a few steps.
Contributor?
⬇️
Contributors can sign up, earn your open source contributor badges, mint them as soulbound NFTs and maybe show it off as well - you deserve it.
We are building Aviyel as a full spectrum OS for open source projects to analyse, motivate and engage with the community. ⬇️
✨ Community dashboard - For community leaders to help analyse community activity from across various platforms on a single unified interface with the most granular data points.
✨ Events platform - Designed for open source community events, roadmap discussions, office hours and much more. We also have a seamless collaborative content creation platform to share and exchange knowledge.
We love open source. We are here to build the best possible experience for open source communities. 🚀 🦄

Congratulations guys!!!

Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to know more on the NFT and digital currency space.
This is a very intriguing concept with a lot of future possibilities. The early contributors to an Open source project often go unrewarded when it becomes a commercial hit.
Cases in point - Mongo, Hadoop (Hortonworks), Memsql, etc. started out with a good amount of community support, and later went on to becoming commercial successes. While they recognized a lot of the contributors through various programs, and sometimes hired them in, the others who didn't join their journey full time might not have benefited.
Many other companies start with a "Develop in the open" philosophy now, despite being VC backed from early stages - cases in point Meteor, Gitlab, Appsmith, etc. The community engagement is slightly on the lower side once the project is well staffed. The motivation seems to go down.
What if the contributors could have a pie of the company? A very small pie that is proportional to the importance of the feature or bug fix at that point in time. But, as the company grows, the value of the pie grows. Just like an ESOP, or any token. Could say a project set aside 20% of their enterprise value as tokens, and use them as rewards to drive their roadmap with the community? Higher the importance, higher the bounty. That could change the dynamics around OSS contributions, which are currently driven more by the interest of the contributor more than the importance of a feature or a fix to the project.
I see Aviyel could also potentially drive such a shift. Would love to hear the founders' take and vision around this area.
@rajagopal_natarajan Hello !
Thanks for sharing your thoughts here. To be honest can't agree more.
One of our core thesis at Aviyel is that community > = team. Our platform should help open source projects build active+motivated communities, build more confidence to the businesses and developers who would want to use them, potentially go commercial and share success with the entire community.
The dynamics around web3 and community transforming into an org are very interesting ideas that are shaping up around us. We now have newer and very interesting ways in which communities can work together , scale up and operate. You should see more of this from Aviyel soon.
And yes, we should definitely connect. Would love to learn more from you.
@rajagopal_natarajan Thanks for your valuable feedback! and firstly believing in the things we're doing.
Of course, "Developing in the in Open" ~ "Create assets and earn in the Open" that's the equation we're trying to crack.
This seems really promising future of NFTs and Open Source, really appreciate the work and the idea. Kudos to team 🥳
Thanks, @harinilabs for bringing your Roxy Community to Aviyel. The project is live now at Aviyel.
Hey, I am Jose Kuttan, co-founder of Aviyel.
Open source is known for its integrity, at the same time plagued by a lack of monetization avenues for everyone involved. We at Aviyel are building a full-fledged ecosystem where open source communities can contribute without having to think about anything else. We want to make sure each contributor, maintainer, and creator working on an open source project is duly recognized and rewarded.

@jos_k My love and passion for open source and inquisitive mindset for the sustainability of the ecosystem brought me to Aviyel. I never regretted it. Happy to be building this amazing product with you and everyone else on the team.
Let's go!!!
Congratulations team Aviyel, great going!
If you are an open-source project or company, Aviyel is a great way to nurture, grow and sustain your community.
The team is iterating the product rapidly, the new Rewards system is extremely exciting, with a fun NFT angle as well. Thanks for having BoxyHQ on your platform early on.
