Going back to the original question of the thread, it’s starting to sound more like a grieving process than an answerable question. How do you open source the code? You flip it from private to public. That’s pretty much it. Well, okay, maybe an over-simplification.
If the business is small and profitable but it’s not growing how you’d like then I’d probably be more interested in selling it if it was me. I am not sure you will be able to sell it if the code is all open source.

- dangus 2y agoI said grieving because it’s like you made something that is “dead” but you think you can save it via open source, when in reality it may just be “dead.” (Or not, I don’t know) Though, I like what someone else brought up in another reply to you about pain/dream/fix. It’s very similar to what you learn in programs like Force Management training where they teach frameworks like MEDDPICC. Finding business pain, demonstrating negative consequences to build urgency, etc. I don’t know if this is something you’ve already done or if the sales approach has been more like “if you build it they will come.”
