Introducing Polar

Polar gives open source maintainers a better and funded backlog based on what drives the most impact within their community.

For maintainers:

  1. Embedded pledges. Our Github app can automatically embed the Polar badge to get backers and pledges.
  2. Better backlog. Sorted by feedback and pledges. Filters by progress and stage.
  3. Chrome extension. Bring Polar with you to enhance Github Issues.

For backers:

  1. Track dependencies. Automatic detection of internal references to open source issues
  2. Seamless pledging. Ability to pledge behind them with a credit-card on file.
  3. Monthly budget (Soon). Automatically distribute a monthly budget across dependencies. Going from one-off to subscription.

Our team is based in Stockholm, Sweden today during this founding stage. In the future we intend to go fully remote, and gradually over time zones, but exceptional talent can certainly accelerate our timeline.
