This is an attempt to shout out a very simple message. <a href="https://utopian.io">Utopian.io</a> is not just about Steemit, Busy or Utopian itself. It is about the **WHOLE** Open Source world, that is made up by hundreds of thousands of projects you can and should contribute to.

<a href="https://utopian.io">Utopian.io</a> is the only platform that **rewards Open Source contributors**. 

**You can choose your favourite Open Source project and use <a href="https://utopian.io">Utopian.io</a> to share your contributions and profit from that.**

On Utopian you can submit:

- Ideas for new or better features of the project
- Code development
- Bugs you have found
- Translations using <a href="https://crowdin.com">Crowdin</a> or similar tools
- Graphic design, logos, layouts and similar that you can create for the project
- Documentation
- Data Analyses 
- Visibility via adv or social networks for the project to grow


A project is Open Source when its codebase is public and editable by everyone. Most of the codebases of these projects are hosted on Github.com.

#### The <a href="https://utopian.io">Utopian.io</a> community, the project owner and the **Utopian Bot Powered by 820K SP** (almost $80 per a single vote) will reward you for contributing.
