Yep, I know the feeling.
There was an organization (I think that's what you'd call them, perhaps company is a better term), called Assembly and they incentivized developers to work on projects by giving them shares in the product they were helping create. Shares were given out based on tasks, difficulty, time, etc. Since then, they are defunct. I can't even get to their website. https://assembly.com/
There use to be a project I followed on there called Buckets. It looked very promising but development has since died once Assembly died.
