Real quotes from Reddit comments that inspired this opportunity
- “The application itself is a steaming pile of garbage, never seen shittier code.”
- “horrible to maintain the community version, literally 3 gigs of node modules and cache”
- “spent more time maintaining and debugging an update gone wring than actually using the app.”
- “2fa immediately broke.”
- “features a CVE that let's you skip proper Login.”
- “locked a significant amount of functionality behind a prohibitively expensive license while benefitting off advertising as open source.”
- “we just wanted a round robin system our team could use- they ended up locking it away as 'teams'”
- “So the open source version will purposely remain 'shitty' as compared to the enterprise version where they'll always reject PRs”
