Up to 10 community contributors can now get funded to build their own open-source Frappe app under this program💰

That is great to hear… But I like to pitch or add something to it…
What if frappe build a special sort of marketplace for people to pitch in fund for something. Sort of like a fundraising to a certain module or creating more feature for a module of frappe/erpnext. As long as it will be opensource. Even it will be used for bug hunting in the code. It will be a win win… for contributors and the community of users. Im a hobbyist and I do understand programmers also need to eat… and water to drink… and also pay the internet… hahaha
It’s been almost 3.5 years since Frappe has been driving this program. Under this program, Frappe has sponsored around 13 projects, two of which are still in progress. Some notable successes from this app include Raven (now part of Frappe). Now, Frappe has decided to put Frappe Incubator on hold. The following are some of the reasons that have contributed to this decision.
In recent times, the majority of incubator applications have come in; the app was already built using AI models. The primary objective of funding a project was to facilitate building. It seems to have been scaled drastically using models.
The funds for incubation are intended for extra features and marketing support. Since most apps are complete, funding these additional features isn’t practical.
Frappe also lack the capacity to support incubation projects in design and marketing.
Despite funding multiple projects, a handful of apps have been able to gain decent adoption.
We have Marketplace Payouts, which is better, as it also honours product adoption.
Thanks to the builders who engaged through the Frappe Incubator. We would love to see the products being built and see Marketplace become a platform for publishing, adoption and monetary incentives.
Thanks for your attention.
Thank you for the opportunity! Projects like Raven are great!
I hope the marketplace becomes active. I remember there being some discussion about possibly having reputable community members be able to review marketplace apps. There seems to be a backlog of marketplace review (at least that is my assumption since my app has been waiting a few months for a review). Could the community member review process idea be re-visited, or perhaps a more automated process?
