I used to swear by Open Source try to build an uptime monitoring but failed https://github.com/yeo/notyim https://github.com/yeo/notyim and a few other thing. Eventually one day I want to do email forwarding, I was thinking open source or not and pretty much chooese to go with close-source for now. I can see myself open source in the future when I get enough customers and I have more time to cleanup the private stuff in our mono repository right now. But for an early self-bootstrap self-funded I feel like focus too much on Open Source and I don't have time to focus on the growth or marketing. I finally release my first SaaS this year, make $78/month right now(don't laugh at me). https://hanami.run https://hanami.run I would say I'm not against opensource and it definetely work for others, but for me, by not going open source I can focus on the business itself. With that being, I contributed back such as a mail parser https://github.com/yeo/parsemail https://github.com/yeo/parsemail https://github.com/yeo/pix https://github.com/yeo/pix I can imagine myself release a lite-version(our early prototype) where we can forward email using a config file, instead of a database with all the user, membership stuff that no one care about if you want to self-hosted my SaaS.
