Author here, I realize how from the user perspective if the app stayed open-source and I still kept working on it full-time that would have been better, but that scenario is unrealistic, I just couldn't justify to myself working on it full-time without getting any revenue out of it and releasing everything as open-source, and I've been working on it for about 18 months now.

If somebody else can justify that proposition to themselves they are more than welcome to fork the app from the last available open-source version and take the open-source path.

Open-sourcing it again is not out of the table, but I need to make the project financially sustainable before considering this.

By the way a lot of the interesting libraries used inside the app are released as open-source still, mostly under my profile: https://github.com/fabiospampinato?tab=repositories&type=sou...

Has the open source branch of the project stopped entirely or is it more of the "open source core" approach used by Sidekiq and others?

How do you think about the growth/monetization trade-offs?

No further commits. However most of the core libraries I wrote for it are open-source, so in some sense it's not entirely closed.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by that.
