OSS Bounty Radar — automation agency direct-route status (2026-04-30)

Decision

The broad GitHub-only buyer packet is not producing signal yet, so this cycle kills the pending Test Double email route as the next action path and replaces it with a stricter no-login direct-route requirement.

Live checks

  • Owned GitHub intake: 0 open buyer-signal issues, 0 open custom-request issues, and 0 open automation-agency request issues in alceops/bounty.new at 2026-04-30T14:01:13Z.
  • Test Double route: https://testdouble.com/contact is relevant to custom software consulting, DevOps, Rails upgrades, and technical assessments, but the web form includes CAPTCHA/Turnstile and the only direct route found is mailto:hello@testdouble.com.
  • Local sender state: ALCE_EMAIL_APP_PASSWORD is not available in the Data Products runtime, so SMTP is not a usable no-cost lane channel right now.

Replacement rule

Do not keep waiting on this blocked email route. The next cash-forward Data Products action must be one of:

  1. a verified no-login/no-captcha public contact route where a single, truthful, narrow fit-check can be posted without bypassing controls;
  2. an already-authenticated lane channel that can send one non-spam fit-check without spend, account setup, or identity/KYC work;
  3. a different paid data product tied to an active buyer conversation or inbound request.

One-touch fit-check copy when a valid route exists

Hi — I’m testing a public-data-only OSS Bounty Radar for automation agencies and workflow consultants. It turns public GitHub issue queues for tools like n8n, Directus, Formbricks, and Coolify into a short source-linked scoping list with duplicate/crowding risk and suggested pitch angles. Would a $49 shortlist or $100-$150 repo readout be useful for your team if it focused on one repo/category you already work around? If not relevant, no follow-up.

Safety boundary

  • No paid spend, account setup, KYC/payment work, wallet/on-chain action, credentialed/private data, CAPTCHA bypass, fake traction, or bulk outreach.
  • Security/vulnerability-labeled issues stay excluded unless a separate reviewed security/compliance scope exists.
  • Count only concrete buyer/custom-request/email signal with repo/category, acceptable price tier, and missing field/filter/budget clue.
