Yes, you can patch it out and do whatever you want. We encourage you to do that. Thus the MIT licence.

If we had it using AGPL, you need to get permission from us etc.. this is not a good thing. Dont ask permission, just do it in good conscience.

Heyo!

I think I'll start with the last point you mentioned about data deletion. We have thought about this, easiest thing to do is to show what all data the system has on the user, and a button to delete it individually, or wipe the whole thing.

I think this point I mentioned is enough for the user to understand, what personas they belon to, what all things are getting captured and how are they getting targetted. Making all this transparent, and the user know how they are getting targetted would make a whole lot of difference in the industry compared to whats happening today!

Lastly about MIT All the lib and software used in the app is MIT, what else am I suppose to do :)

Heyo! I'm Afi, I have been working on Bespoke for the past 8 months. I have a good feeling about Bespoke and I think it can only reach it's true potential if it's only open source. My thoughts are below. Bespok's ultimate goals are as follows: -To engage in personalized marketing -To be trusted, because we do personlization

When we mention personalization, it involves gathering extensive user data, such as their behavior, purchase history, and browsing preferences. We understand that handling such sensitive information might lead to concerns about intrusion into users' privacy.

To establish trust in our system and demonstrate our transparent data collection practices, we have no choice but to open-source our software. By adopting an open-source approach, we can gain a competitive advantage in terms of trustworthiness and reliability.

Another crucial aspect of our long-term goal is to become a platform that facilitates data collection for any software operating on the internet. We aim to challenge the narratives surrounding companies like Facebook, TikTok, Google, etc., which have been criticized for exploiting user data to benefit advertisers. We believe that our approach can bring about a positive change, providing advertisers with an alternative platform where everything is conducted openly, instilling greater trust in the system among users.

I think the path forward towards the stated goals above is to start with a Mailchimp alternative. And eventually become the open source personlization marketing platform.

Hope you guys self host it today or sign up to check it out!
