"The decision to keep Hollow closed source isn’t about restricting users, it’s about ensuring stability while maximizing customization through plugins and themes."

I am not sure if the above is marketing speech but of course you can open source it while not accepting PR that would harm the stability of the app.

Most developers interested in such software would not invest time and effort towards projects that may be abandoned soon, or that may have their future versions require subscriptions.

I am not going to be using Hollow, it is unusable in its current state and I do not see any security in helping the app grow.

That’s fair, I understand that open source is a deciding factor for some people. I also get concerns about sustainability right now, there will be no subscriptions as i said in the site it will be free no matter what, The financial side of the app is purely based on donations, and the focus is on growing an ecosystem of tools that developers can build on freely.

Thanks again for considering it, and for your feedback

Why would I give you my code for free if you're not going to give me your code for free?
