Hello everyone! This is a transparency report. Some thoughts about the project sustainability:

Costs?

Server cost is not really an issue. Opportunity cost is the bigger deal.

DevHub "costs" me around US$10k per month (opportunity cost) considering the number of hours I invest on it. US$120.000,00+ per year. This puts things in perspective, specially considering that I've been without revenue since August 2018, working on it full time.

Free and open source?

I love open source, so by default I made DevHub 100% free and open source. But I'm not sure how long I can keep it like this. To keep this project alive, I plan to add some paid features at some point.
EDIT: 7 months after writing this, I finally added the first paid features.

Future

The future of the project will depend on the number of paying customers it will get. If not enough, it will not be updated anymore. If it gets enough paying users, it will keep growing and improving, becoming more and more useful. It can thrive or stale.

Conclusion

I want DevHub to be a valuable tool for you and for teams working on GitHub (open source or private). But I can't keep working on it for free, it can't be at the cost of my financial life or mental health.

So I hope you all understand if I make this completely paid/closed source and purchase a paid plan if you use the project. If you have some features suggestions, or thoughts about sustainability, etc, let me know!

Also please share the project with your friends and social media, it needs to grow to survive. Thanks 💚
