About our partner

Swimm aims to help developers hit the ground running with new Open Source projects, and help maintainers recruit and grow contributor engagement.

Swimm is offered for free to Open Source projects

What is Snowpack?
Snowpack is a modern frontend build tool for faster web development. It replaces heavier, more complex bundlers like webpack or Parcel in your development workflow.

Snowpack leverages JavaScript’s native module system (known as ESM) to create a first-of-its-kind build system that never builds the same file twice. Snowpack pushes changes instantly to the browser, saving you hours of development time traditionally spent waiting around for your bundler.

What is Supabase?
The open-source Firebase alternative.
Supabase adds realtime and restful APIs to Postgres without a single line of code.

Whether you’re new to development, a student, long-time contributor, event host, or company of any size, you can help drive the growth of open source and make positive contributions to an ever-growing community.
