Thanks! I took inspiration from a few different design styles to make something a bit more fun and novel. And It is closed right now. I work on Quiblr in as a side project and I've never managed an open source project lol but I'm talking with a friend who does have experience managing open source projects to see if they can assist
I hope you'll get to open it. Maybe you'll be surprised from the community you can form around it.
Agreed. Closed source and Lemmy users don't mix much. I'll be passing for now.
Just upload the source code to github, it's not difficult to make things open source, just often people don't want to.
I don’t think this is totally accurate. Open source management is very thank-less. If you just upload code, people expect to submit PRs, get updates, version control, etc. also you often need to do your diligence to ensure there aren’t any additional security considerations
You can definitely just upload the code (with some revision for security) but truly managing an open source project (which I’m guessing OP is referring to) is another beast all together
