Totally understandable points ...and we were expecting this from some people.
Just some considerations:
- some projects are open source (busy.org) but as the developers behind them disappeared the project just died. And steemit funded the project for years with an huge delegations so in a way we lost values also if the code is available to everyone. This is because the code is shared, but the project leadership is not.
- we are working on steempeak in our free time, so have a commitment on the order of features (roadmap) and a timeframe (quarter) to complete them is not easy for us. Specially considering that we can get or lose funding during the quarter.
They said I understand you stance and I'm happy that you like our work ;)
