Maintenance for teams that already merged my work

105 of my pull requests are merged in 88 public repos that belong to 73 different owners. 16 of those owners are companies or foundations, Medusa, Prefect, Stellar and Microlink among them.

If your team merged one of these, you've already reviewed how I work. This page lists every one of them, then offers the same kind of work on a schedule for a flat monthly fee.

Counted live from GitHub search on 5 Oct 2026, 01:35 UTC. Left out on purpose: 705 PRs to my own repos, 19 PRs in private repos, 34 PRs that only add my own products to awesome lists and registries. First external merge in this set was on 5 Jul 2024.

White-label capacity for agencies

If you build Medusa, Strapi or similar stores for clients, I can take the upgrades and i18n work for your client stores, as PRs your team reviews. The easiest start is a $400 fixed-price i18n audit of one client repo: a written report plus one PR that fixes every broken placeholder, tag and brand leak. In a sample run on 6 open-source apps it found 602 broken strings, like white-label customers seeing the vendor's name.

What the merged work is

40

code

Bug fixes, TypeScript types, dependency and security bumps, build tooling and packaging.

16

i18n

Missing locale keys filled, catalogs fixed, new languages added.

49

docs

Docs that had drifted from the code, dead links, guides and examples.

Categories come from the PR titles, so a few borderline PRs could sit in a neighbouring bucket. Every PR is linked below if you want to check.

The offer

Same kind of PRs, on a schedule, for a flat fee. All of it happens in writing, in your issues, PR threads and email. I don't do calls.

Four prices, all in USD. A $400 pilot month, $750 a month for locale upkeep, $1,500 a month for maintenance, and a $400 fixed-price i18n audit for one repo.

Pilot month

$400 first month, up to 4 hours

You pick one problem. A red CI job, a lockfile nobody dares to touch, a locale that's half empty. I fix it in PRs you review. At the end of the month you tell me in writing whether to continue. If you don't, nothing renews.

Locale upkeep

$750 per month, up to 6 hours
  • After each release I fill the keys your existing locales are missing, one PR per release.
  • Up to 8 locales.
  • Placeholders, plural forms and any glossary you keep get checked by script before the PR goes up.
  • I draft with machine translation and correct by hand. I'm not a native speaker of most target languages, so native review stays on your side.

Maintenance

$1,500 per month, up to 10 hours
  • Dependency updates where I read the changelog and fix what breaks, instead of merging whatever a bot opened.
  • CI drift. Jobs that went red because a runner image, an action or a toolchain moved under you.
  • Issue triage with labels, a repro attempt and a short written note on each issue.
  • Small fixes that come out of triage.
  • A written summary at the end of each month, with what changed and what's waiting on you.

i18n audit and fix

$400 fixed price, one repo, up to 40 locales

A one-off job, not a subscription. I check every locale against your source language for broken placeholders, ICU syntax, lost tags and brand leaks, then send a written report and one PR that fixes every objective bug, within 3 business days. Details and a sample report.

Pay now opens a Stripe checkout. The seller name shown there is BeLikeNative, the name of my Stripe account.

Or email lipmichal@gmail.com. Use email for a private repo or anything you'd rather not post in public, since the form opens a public GitHub issue.

What happens next

  1. I reply in writing within 24 hours to confirm the scope. If you have not paid yet, the reply has the payment link.
  2. Work starts when the payment arrives.
  3. You get the written report and the first PR within 3 business days.

No calls. Every step happens in writing, in the issue or by email.

To be clear

None of the projects on this page pays me. Their maintainers reviewed and merged public PRs, and being listed here doesn't mean they endorse this offer. I have no paying maintenance clients yet, so there are no testimonials. The numbers above are the whole track record, and each one links to the PR.
