Can’t wait for LLMs to become boring technology.
I’m strongly considering making the #SilverBullet “native” apps free for personal use, paid for work use and not open source. A kind of “open core” model. SilverBullet the self hosted server will remain MIT licensed, just the native wrapper will not.
I think this may be a more sustainable option to make the project financially viable for me. It costs a lot of time. I get some donations, but not nearly enough to really compensate for my reduced working hours. I think this route may be a good balance between open source at core and paying a little bit for the slightly more polished and easy to use experience.
