    Thanks, this sounds like a great project! Also, glad dbzer0 was your choice of a community :)

    Is there an rogue date where you’ll release it to be open source?

    Also, seeing you mentioned ad-free, i’m curious about this.

      btw the frontend is all open source - the backend will be open source in a month or two after the reqwrite

        If it isn’t open source now you shouldn’t say it’s open source. You should say it’s partially open source with plans to get the rest out soon.

      i meant annoying ad free as in no redirect or popup ads - we still need a way to fund the project since donations are scarce

        Understandable, apologies if it sounded like i found it annoying; i prefer it like this anyway :) was just curious about that point.

        Thanks again for this great project!
