How they build

Andras Bacsai avatarAndras Bacsai

  • Keep every feature open source; never lock the good parts behind an enterprise edition.
  • Fund development with donations and an optional hosted version instead of investors.
  • Avoid vendor lock-in so users can always run the software themselves.
  • Build slowly over years rather than chasing overnight launches.

Martin Donadieu avatarMartin Donadieu

  • Build open source and stay free of venture capital.
  • Scratch your own itch, then let the community shape the product.
  • Share numbers and the journey openly.
