Welcome to Affiliate Forge, a vibrant community where like-minded developers and enthusiasts converge to revolutionize the software development process within the partner business sector.

Our journey began one December day when we noticed a recurring pattern: nearly every project within the partner business sphere was redundantly crafting the same tools and libraries from scratch. This repetitive cycle highlighted a gap in the development world—a paradox where everything seems already created, yet something crucial is evidently missing.

The concept of open-source software development naturally presents itself as a solution. By collaborating in an open, community-driven environment, not only can projects reduce the total cost of software ownership, but they can also evolve alongside the community’s collective advancements.

The lifecycle of software development requires more than just writing code and deploying it. It demands continual adaptation to meet changing world and business demands. This need translates into ensuring that any code modifications are predictable and beneficial. While larger teams might have the resources to enforce stringent quality checks, smaller teams often sacrifice reliability for speed due to resource constraints.

By making your project’s code publicly available, you not only enhance the community’s value but also leverage our extensive networking and marketing resources to increase your project’s visibility and impact.

We’re excited to announce the first projects under the Affiliate Forge umbrella:

• node-affiliate-port - Node.js library for creating deeplinks from developers of the Fairsavings project
• php-admitad-api — a PHP PSR-18 compatible client for Admitad API

For those looking to dive into coding, we have a dedicated discussion thread with various project ideas where you can choose a project that resonates with you and begin your open-source journey.

If you’re considering making your project open-source and need guidance, or if you’re contemplating how the community might benefit your work, don’t hesitate to reach out. Contact me via Telegram to discuss how we can assist in transforming your ideas into public contributions.

Let’s collaborate to create tools that not only meet but exceed our current needs, fostering a new era of development in affiliate marketing and beyond.
