Waddup ProductHunters, Vic here! 👋
I've worked as a freelancer in the past, and I've also been part of various open source projects, so one day it hit me :) What if you could keep the amazing collaborating features that GitHub offers (contributors, commits, logs, and so on) while also monetizing your repositories and projects. 💼
This is how GitWall was born 🚀
Protect intellectual property aka your projects, and monetize repos in a few clicks 💸
Give it a try, it's FREE :)

@vicdevelopmently Hey Vic! I see you're launching on product hunt soon. I can see huge potential with Gitwall for developers looking to be reciprocated for their work! I gave your page a follow and I'll support on launch day. Please feel free to follow my upcoming launch of ezML too! (https://www.producthunt.com/prod...) Good luck!
Looks interesting!
How does it work? Does it actually prevent users from accessing the repository or is it just a paywall that will then redirect to the actual repository?

@kevin_brendel Great question Kevin. So the whole idea behind Gitwall is being able to keep GitHub's amazing collaborative features, while also being able to monetize access to your repository.
So once someone get's through the paywall, they automatically get an invite in the repository as a collaborator

👎 Not only is this idea distasteful, but it literally gate keeps people without means. It completely misses the beauty, passion, and importance of open source software.

@puppycodes I'm sorry you misunderstood the purpose of our software😅it's not about gate keeping anything, or about damaging the reputation of open source projects.
It's all about merging GitHub's amazing collaborative feature with a safe payment system to create a better experience for developers that want to monetise their code, and for customers wanting to get access to that code.
It's way better than putting a .zip file with source code behind a GumRoad. What if there are updates to the code? What if people that purchased the source code want to bring updates to the table? It'd be a big mess :)
Thanks for tuning in to the launch, and hope that I clarified it for you✌️
Cheers!

@vicdevelopmently By definition a paywall is exactly that... a monetary divider between people and the product. Thats not open source.

Congratulation for you launch. This could be an interesting idea to share open-source work but get money to continue to work on it. It seems the demo video hosted on youtube doesn't work.

@dib258 Hey Ludo! Thanks for the great feedback. I had some problems with the demo video, so we just replaced it with a picture of how one of the repo paywalls looks
Congrats on the launch!! This is really helpful but the "Rich dev" pricing seems too high. I would have guessed a usage based pricing per purchase/customer.
Congratulations to the Gitwall team for launching this amazing product! I can see huge potential in monetizing GitHub repositories. Are there any plans to integrate with other version control platforms?
Congratulations on the successful launch of Gitwall! It's great to see your app receiving recognition on Product Hunt. To enhance your product further, consider adding these features:

3. In-depth analytics to track user engagement and revenue generation.
4. Social media sharing options to boost visibility and user acquisition.
