An unkind observer might suspect the goal to be having the aesthetic of an open source or at least source available project without actually being one.

    If I wanted to fake an 'aesthetic', I wouldn't have explicitly stated in my very first sentence that the core app is closed-source. I'm a solo developer, and GitHub is simply the most practical tool for issue tracking and hosting public files. There is no hidden strategy here.

    That might be the case. And you might in fact be perfectly well intentioned (though, as you might have found this community isn't, on average, very into closed source software).

    On the project site, this post, your replies, I have read nothing that sounded like genuinely you. It all reads like marketing. Or, more precisely, as if you have a LLM write/rewrite your responses. This, to me, makes them feel incredibly disingenuous. You might just sound like that naturally. In that case, I'm sorry.

    If you want to win over this community, a good avenue would probably be open sourcing your application and arranging for some form of donation.

    Edit: Also, you didn't state that it's closed source in your first sentence?? Well, you did in the first sentence of the reply to the comment that called out there not being source code on the repo, but the cat was out of the bag at that time.

    After reading through all the comments, and since you are taking the time to write them, I assume there is some genuine interest here and it's not just trolling. Because of that, I will gladly make the project open-source. As I’ve mentioned before, I never did this for profit, so I have absolutely no problem sharing the code with you.

    I just need a little time to clean things up and prepare the repository. I plan to get to it after my work shift today and push it to GitHub for you. Sincerely grateful for all your feedback.
