## What it is
Algora is a self-hostable web platform that connects companies with open source engineers through jobs, contracts, and bounties. It includes a GitHub app for issuing bounties and tips, plus a payment processor for payouts and compliance.

## Use cases
- run an open source bounty program
- reward contributors for fixing issues
- hire open source engineers for full-time or contract work
- screen job applicants for OSS contributions
- manage contractor payouts and 1099s
- self-host a bounty platform for my community

## When to choose
- you maintain an OSS project and want to fund contributions via bounties
- you want to hire engineers proven by their open source track record
- you need outcome-based payments and compliance handling for contractors

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose applicant tracking system without OSS focus
- you want a simple issue tracker without payments
- you cannot accept AGPL-3.0 licensing terms
