I recently made one of my Next.js projects public after a few years of dedication. I’m now wondering about the norms surrounding paid contributions to smaller open-source projects.

Is it common practice to financially compensate developers for creating new modules or making significant contributions? I’m considering setting aside a monthly budget of a few hundred dollars to incentivize meaningful contributions to my project.

Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
