This looks very cool. Congrats on the launch!

Have you thought about open sourcing it? I realize you want to sustain a business, but an open core model with commercial features would allow you to do that. A free tool like this would be a welcome addition to the ecosystem, most of which is FOSS already, and would help build a community around your product.

We certainly have, it is admittedly quite new to both of us, so we have been exploring the best way to introduce something like this, as well as tying up technical bits. The open core model with commercial features is certainly appealing.

Open to any perspectives on this.

I've been involved with successful commercial projects using the open core model. Feel free to reach out over email if you have any questions. My contact info is in the profile.
