Sometimes people work on it, but even with my popular projects, it’s rare. Most of our code is written by contractors.
Initially (2021?) one project had a bunch of OSS contributors who wanted to take part, but I felt scared to let go the reins and possibly needlessly suspicious of their praise and enthusiasm.. so I basically turned them all away, didn’t care for them, and they never came back. Felt sad.
Hahaha! :)
But I agree in the case of this licensing server in seems it might be rare to get people working on it. But if you do a show HN, you might get people picking apart security flaws, which is useful. From perspectives we haven’t thought about.
Probably gonna test it more, consider open sourcing later after a few proven deployments of this self hosted version.
Thanks for your practical comment. BTW- i like your writing and poetry at your blog, it’s cool. You have a style I’d feel happy read in fiction I think. Kind of elided, modern Ginsburg-ish, idk, but it’s good :)
