We do at the moment, yes, but it won't be missed once it's gone (indeed, I think it'll seem ludicrous that we paid for closed source software -- imagine that -- retrospectively).
https://www.reciperadar.com/ https://www.reciperadar.com/ was built entirely using open source software and tools (with the arguable exception of GitHub, Google and a brief foray into Figma, all used internally but without involvement in the software service (and all potential dependencies that are identified for replacement with GitLab, self-hosted mail and Penpot, respectively)). It's not great software, but it's a demonstration that it's possible.
