THANKS

THANKS is a small command-line tool that helps developers discover which open-source maintainers behind their npm dependencies are accepting donations. It is built around a simple idea: projects benefit from countless unpaid maintainer hours, so users should have an easy way to support the people who keep those projects alive. Instead of forcing teams to research every dependency manually, thanks scans the current project and surfaces donation opportunities directly from the terminal. It can be run instantly with npx or installed globally for repeated use across projects. The project also invites maintainers to add themselves to its donation list through pull requests, making it community-driven. It is best suited for JavaScript and Node.js developers who want to make open-source funding more visible and actionable.
