How do you plan to support the team and project, financially, over the long haul?
- pallavn 8y agoWe intend to be an open-core company, and monetize support and tools around the product.
- matthjensen 8y agoCool. You might consider describing Muze as a project rather than a product. E.g., On the homepage: Our first product, Muze... -> Our first project, Muze....
- pallavn 8y agoThanks for this nugget. Will consider and then change! Curious question: why would you not want to call an open source library as product?
- matthjensen 8y agoI associate "product" with something that is sold, so when I saw Muze described as a "product," but I didn't see a price, I was somewhat wary that the price was hidden or forthcoming. "Project" is also a fairly common term to refer to open source tools and the community around them. See the nav bars for linuxfoundation.org or numfocus.org, for instance.
- runako 8y ago^^^ I had the same thought process. I spent a few minutes clicking around the site to figure out the catch to the open-source library that is the only product of a company with a $$$$ domain.
- pallavn 8y agoThat's just the first product - open-core. We will be making more products in future, some OS, some paid. So yes, monetization is on the cards :) - but our first goal is to create real good value!
