Oh man I kind of built something like this. I took the project down because I got semi-burned out while also having a full time job. I have a video still up at https://github.com/aidmin-io/docs. Feedback on HN was that companies wouldn't trust it unless they could run it in their own infra, but clearly there is a huge need with BaseDash and now another similar company funded by YC.

Why not restart your project? What are you scared of? HN comments? No funding?

As an open-source solution you can a have higher chance of succeeding and a higher retention rate than proprietary ones. You can raise a seed round just as they did

Feel free to e-mail me, I have sold a open-source startup in the past and co-founded another last year

I think this was sort of the key issue, it wasn't open source, but the docs / website was. Have been thinking of cleaning it up and open sourcing it.

I love this! You should definitely bring it back to life, but fully understand the side-project burnout, that's what lead us to build this full-time haha.

Completely understand the running on own-infra it's something we offer our enterprise customers as it's a bigger lift on our end as well.

Happy to hop on a call or zoom or whatever to chat through all the challenges we ran into while building this, would love to hear more about aidmin as well!
