I'm thinking of adopting the entire project of an abandoned open source codebase and make it into a paid product under a new name. I can only contribute to about 40% of its codebase because I don't know any JavaScript.

One idea is to find reliable paid freelancers on the usual platforms like fiver and hope to find someone reliable for the long-term to handle security & bugfixes.

Still, browser extensions, complex microservice architecture, requires infrastructure, monitoring, eventually fork Android/iOS apps (current ones support self-hosting).

I know for a fact there's demand for it and the alternatives don't compare to it.

Any suggestions from fellow nostriches? Perhaps there a platforms where I could find developers who want to get paid in sats per issue solved or something like that?
