2026 Open Source Priorities Update

[estruyf]

I love working with and creating open source products, but after careful
evaluation and working with a coach, I've decided to focus my efforts on
creating a better revenue stream. As open-source isn't providing me a
sustainable income, I need to focus my time and effort more strategically on
how to make my work sustainable.

Front Matter CMS will continue to be maintained as I use it daily.
However, major changes will only happen if there's a personal reason, a
company commitment, or significant community support. Feature requests may
take longer to be addressed.

I'm shifting focus to open source projects that I can learn from or that have
different outcomes, like Demo Time, which I use when presenting at
conferences. If you or your company would like to sponsor my work on Front
Matter CMS or other projects, I'd love to discuss how we can collaborate to
make it even better!

This is not about Front Matter CMS going away, but rather about managing
expectations around feature development timelines.
