What is your open source tool?




Thanks for sharing ... This looks great and I hope you get somewhere nice with this project ...


Thanks!

My former employer is still using it and saving yearly multiple times my previous 6 digit salary, so I got a nice promotion out of it before I left.

It also helped me get my current job at AWS(pretty much half of the interview I was just talking about how I built it), and I now make some $500 monthly (before tax) from a few users who pay for official binaries.

I'm now only working on it occasionally, just enough to maintain this income stream, but previously I put a lot of time and effort into building it.

My motivation to work on it plummeted when I saw those companies reap the benefits of my hard work without giving anything back.
