Today, we're changing our name and expanding our product footprint. We are now market.dev.

Our goal is the same - to help more developers become independent business owners - with tools to market, sell services & digital products, and manage their business. For existing users, nothing changes (except for a shiny new domain) - all gitwallet.co links will automatically redirect to market.dev.

Along with the new name, we've also started building a new marketplace of experts & resources in open source communities.

To do this, our approach is to create one of the most comprehensive directories of experts in developer ecosystems, allow experts to to claim their profile, and to use this as a new channel to sell services & digital products. Check it out at explore.market.dev. Stay tuned for more information on what you can do with this - very soon.

We think that commerce can move much faster in developer ecosystems - for everything from services to software - and we're excited about building towards this future as market.dev. For updates, follow us on X as @marketdotdev and Bluesky @market.dev.

Introducing Gitwallet

Cover Image for Introducing Gitwallet

Today, we’re launching a new platform for developers to launch & grow a business alongside an open source project. It’s called Gitwallet, and you can use it now at https://app.gitwallet.co.

It’s easier than ever to share your code, build in teams and invite contributors. The real challenge starts when you want to build a community and turn a project into something more. Open source builders and teams now need help with analytics, community growth and tools for commerce.

Gitwallet will explore these problem spaces. We’re launching our platform today with a simple premise - to help anyone build a business around an open source project. With Gitwallet, you can quickly:

  1. Set up a commercial offering tied to a GitHub project, like paid support, consulting or training.
  2. Promote your commercial services with customizable landing Pages & embeds.
  3. Understand how people are using your open source, using new research and analytics tools.
  4. Manage & grow your customer base with built-in CRM , reporting and contract management. .

We believe serious open source teams need new tools - to help them build strong businesses and ecosystems around their projects. We believe in bringing together maintainers and the companies that depend on their software in new ways. And we don’t have to believe that the means of making software itself being transformed - that’s already happening in front of us. We’re entering a brave new world.

Over time, we hope to enable more projects to become successful businesses, and enable new types of relationships between open source teams and the companies that rely on them.

If you’re interested in what we’re building, check out www.gitwallet.co, join our Discord, or find us on X as @gitwallet.
