If there's a demand for it to become open-source, why not? But I'll have to improve code quality first. As the presence of french labels indicates it, i18n is not properly implemented for this project.

No, you really don't have to. Partially complete software can have a lot of value too.

Anyone can fork it and quickly add the i18n (or just translate into a different language) for their own purposes. People will likely want to contribute i18n. People may fix or improve things for you.

Of course, it's entirely up to you - but I've appreciated half-complete software countless times before.

Don't fall into this trap, strike while the HN iron is hot, all these people +1'ing will never come back when you're eventually happy the code quality is "improved"

If it's truly that bad you'll benefit from the feedback since it's an internet exposed service, although considering you're a professional freelancer, I'm sure it's fine.

It is far from fine. It was my little dirty project where I knew there was only 3 users and where I could be finally escape the usual process from my professional life.

But heh, now is the Time for me to patch all the hole I left. Lots of coffees depend on me now.

Si c'est open source je peux aider avec les traductions !

And yes, I feel like, working on it before open sourcing it is like cleaning before the cleaner. It's ok if the code is messy and there are bugs, that's why OS exist.

Very cool idea imo congrats
