I love your work but I won't vote for this proposal for a few reasons :
You are closed source, I don't think public funds should be funding closed source projects as the value can easily be "lost" if you decide to pull the plug at any time. Imo closed source should fund themselves or get open source. And I see a lot of ways for you to monetize your front end.
I really, really dislike those proposals that run for years that are just "support us" with a list of features that you may do, without a clear roadmap or accountability. Instead of a clear proposal per feature set. I am very familiar with the sps and I know how time consuming it is to raise votes. But why don't you do something like a per quarter proposal ? This way there is a clear roadmap and accountability. And spending some time every 3 months to get votes is okay, especially if your previous proposal was a success.
Totally understandable points ...and we were expecting this from some people.
Just some considerations:
They said I understand you stance and I'm happy that you like our work ;)
I currently support this proposal but am on the fence due to the lack of open sourcing under a permissive license.
@asgarth it seems like open sourcing large parts of the platform would give this proposal (or a new one) the boost it needs to get funded.
