I notice this with a lot of new OSS. E.x. Etcher is basically an ad for Resin (tired of flashing SD cards? Use resin and do it with a git push.)
This is the best form of advertising because I get a free useful tool out of it.
- osrec 9y agoYes absolutely. I think if you want people to give you their time and trust, you have to give them something of value in return. We're working on releasing more OSS as it really does help to bolster our business. In fact, we are even thinking of making Bx itself free, and simply taking a small cut when users receive payment for invoices raised on the platform.
