Your last sentence has a conflict in it. You are thinking about open-sourcing the project, but you still want to control it? That doesn't sound very open.
Are you at a point where you can launch something? Do you have any feedback from potential users or customers?
Launch before you think it is done. You didn't provide enough details about progress so I will make some assumptions. Scale down your startup to a Minimum Viable Product. Do you have any data that points to this startup generating any income right away to pay off any such debt?
- gregw100 15y agoI don't mean open-source in it's most literal form. I'm referring to just changing my project to a more open project, rather than completely private. In other words, letting anybody with the relevant qualifications to work on it for their own pleasure, experience, etc. Because the project is my idea and I have a vision for it, I wouldn't want to somehow give up control over its direction. I'm just not against letting more people work on it who have the skills and are willing, rather than an extremely controlled tight circle of developers. In other words, it would be open-source, but with somewhat of a hierarchy and direction.
