This is a submission for DEV's Summer Bug Smash: Clear the Lineup powered by Sentry.
Project Overview
Bounty Reality Check is a free screening tool for public GitHub issues and pull requests. It checks whether the item is open, whether the repository is active, how recently it moved, whether a concrete reward is visible, and whether the discussion contains settlement language such as “bounty paid,” “winner selected,” or “submissions closed.”
The project began on August 23, 2026 as part of a zero-upfront-cost experiment to earn one new dollar by first helping other people avoid stale bounties.
