@cblgh First of all, I love your project. Secondly, charging money is good and there's nothing wrong with it. Lastly, have you considered a model where you both sell the software and make it open source? Users want to buy builds from you rather than get them from someone else b/c they trust you as the author, and you could add some non-code thing to your builds (e.g. design) that the open source version doesn't have. I'm using this model for a project, lmk if you want to talk. PS. Purchased ❤

@vladh @cblgh FWIW, this is what I do with Starscan (also on itch.io if you want to see it).

@vladh thanks for the feedback vladh! i am hoping this model will ease some fears i had with providing the source immediately & it being legally plausible that someone went and sold at lower cost/provided builds of it, would be cool to hear your perspective in depth as well :)
