I’ve noticed that while many open source projects power critical infrastructure, it’s still really hard for maintainers to find sustainable funding.

To help, I built what I believe is the most comprehensive database of open source grants, accelerators, and funding programs available today. It includes opportunities from global foundations, niche programs, and everything in between.

Database: http://bit.ly/4lXe4HG

This is a living resource, and I’d love feedback:

Are there funding opportunities I’ve missed?

What’s been your experience applying for grants as an OSS maintainer?

How do you think we can make OSS funding more sustainable?

While building this, I also realized that many funds require traction before applying. If you find the database useful, consider starring the Ivy repo on GitHub to help push this forward: https://github.com/Ivy-Interactive/Ivy-Framework

Curious to hear the community’s thoughts and experiences.

Given that it's in Sweden it's probably never be mined. We rather save some frogs.

Very cool! Excel is underappreciated as a programming environment.

A friend of mine created https://www.molnify.com/ that is something similar.

Show HN: Use ChatGPT and Excel to get superpowers

nielsbosma — Thu, 12 Jan 2023 08:13:07 +0000

During my winter holiday I played with ChatGPT and built an integration with the OpenAI Completion APIs and Excel. (And yes technically not ChatGPT but as close that we can get with the APIs that are available.)

I found this incredible useful for my work on Filestar.

I wrote some instructions here on how to try this yourself:

Please let me know if you figure out any useful prompts.
