Open Source would be MUCH better, but I'm seeing you're working on it, will wait till then I guess.

I never understood the delays before open sourcing a product. Unless they are using third party proprietary code, what do they have to work on?

[riddley]

I would guess security passes that they should be doing anyway. If they open source and there are enough sec issues it might kill good will.

Anything proprietary or specific to Kagi needs to be sanitized / made a Plugin. E.g. an error message might say "please contact support at X." It's non-trivial to make all errors generic and pluggable. It's a lot of work to keep the business separate from the OSS part.

I'd contribute to Bookmarks and History features if Orion.app was open source.

Wait for what?

Wait for the browser to become open source I assume, which is supposed to happen sometime in the future.

Yes, but what then?
