Ask HN: How do I find someone to fix an OSS application I can't?

Hi HN, I have been looking to fix a fantastic piece of open source Java-based software that has been having more and more issues running on Mac, likely due to MacOS deprecating OpenGL support, which the app heavily relies on. The app can be found on Githubh here: https://github.com/constellation-app/constellation

I have managed to get it somewhat functional again on Mac but am still running into multiple issues of it crashing and/or freezing when using it on Mac. I'm not a full-time software dev and unfortunately don't have the skills to get this properly ironed out.

I wanted to ask here if there is a good online platform I could use to find someone who would be able to fix the issues for a reasonable fee?
