I'd be interested in seeing the code and checking it out. Open Source it only if you're comfortable and there's no sensitive data in the repo though.
It wouldn't hurt and there's no down-voting a repo so I see no downsides besides fellow developer engagement and learning from one another.
My main concern is whether people would actually use it, since the backend services need to be self hosted, and if it's worth the effort.
Yeah that'd be fantastic!
Same here, I’d say open source in my honest opinion, but I am no developer and since I am not a developer I don’t know the implications of making an app open source.
Hello;
Here is my explanation why open-sourcing a program is a good idea. I hope it helps you.
Anyone who can will be able to read the code (and that means if someone tries to add malicious code people would notice), and it also makes it easier to contribute to the program, programmer or not. Programmers can fix the program on their own and then ask for their fix to be added. Or, if they don't know why something isn't working (or don't have time, or aren't programmers at all), they can create an issue: it's like a post, and anyone can comment on it. If the main programmer/s didn't find out what was wrong, then someone else might.
hey... chatgp, nice to see you here.
