Linen.dev vs Linen.team vs. Open Source?

[825i]

This is for @emilos or any other member of Linen.

We'd be interested in using this service but have some crucial questions here.

Can you please explain to us what is your project roadmap?
Looking at your product(s) there seems to be a lot of vaguity about what you are trying to achieve. This becomes immediately apparent to anyone who starts to consider Linen at all. It is fine to be in beta, but there should be clear communication about going forward. No one wants to pay for and adopt something that you will just drop at any point in the near future.

For example the open source side of Linen.dev seems completely dead. There hasn't been any builds or work done here on Github for years. The last prod build was 2 years ago. The last commit 4 months ago.

Can you please be transparent about your goals and business model? Surely by now you guys have made a decision.

Please let me know asap, as we're considering Linen for our own business. We would need it at https://ourowndomain.com/community

Thanks a lot in advance!

Apologies about the lack of communication. I'll probably write this up in more of a formal channel and blog post a bit later. We are focusing on Linen.dev making Slack and Discord communities search engine friendly. We actually have a separate fork of Linen.dev for the time being that is still being maintained with bug fixes. We originally started that fork out for Linen.team but has been working on top of it for a while since a lot of the changes weren't backwards compatible. (Might open source that back up again but there is quite a lot of clean up we'd like to do before doing so)

Some other background information. Originally Linen was ventured backed but we realized it wasn't venture scalable so decided to return the investors money and run it as a small business. The goal is to keep it running profitably and sustainably and not having to constantly worrying about having to get a venture scale hit. We've been running Linen profitably for the past year and don't plan on stopping any time soon.
