Ask HN: If we make it open source, how do we monetize it?

I don't want to make a bad business decision. But I feel like we should make our product open source, with capital OSS. The reason is because it expands the value for companies considering using it by not being afraid they will lose access in future, although they can ensure that now with perpetual licenses which we currently sell.However, if we want to have a SaaS offering, making it Open Source could encourage people to trust that relying on that will not incur future debt. This is becaus

Ask HN: Community Led Infrastructure

Something I've been thinking a lot about for years is how you build an alternative to the AWS's of the world.

For the latter case, I admire the dedication some people put in thei

Ask HN: What Do You Want?

Open ended question. What do you want? Why do you want what you want? Do you have it? If you don't have it, what is preventing you from having it? Do you want things that are literally impossible?
