Get the best software quality
Maintaining opensource is just work, many developers lose interest at some point without proper support. Our support model lets the opensource developers focus on the things they love and care.
We value opensource developers as musicians and see companies as the listeners. Like various music platforms, you get all the best opensource for a fixed monthly fee.
We take a small 6% fee from your provided funds to keep the registry running. Your funds are really spent on the developers, which in part make your business run!
Did you know all commercial software products/web-services consist of opensource software for more than half the codebase? Ask your in-house developers for details.

Frequently asked questions
How do I intall packages?
Installing packages from/via the OpenSource Registry is very simple. Just open a terminal and change your registry using the commands below. The auth-token required for the second command was sent to your email address after signup but can also be retrieved from the dashboard
npm set registry https://npm.opensourceregistry.com
npm set //npm.opensourceregistry.com/:_authToken <provided-token>You should now be able to use NPM using the OpenSource Registry. If you run into any trouble, feel free to message us at our support email
How do I publish a package?
Before publishing the first version create a package entry in the my packages page.
Add the following line to your package.json file to the project you want to publish:
"publishConfig": { "registry": "https://npm-publish.opensourceregistry.com" }Then type the following:
npm set //npm-publish.opensourceregistry.com/:_authToken <provided-token>Do the actual publish:
npm publishSee the docs for more info.
How is the open-source publisher funding share calculated?
We take your package download count divided by the total download count, multiplied by the total available funds.
This is saying you will get the relative share of all funding money based on your download count in relation to all downloads.
Note: Any counts used are unique IP address counts. A company build server doing many downloads a day/month will be seen as one count.
