@cupboard319 thanks for the issue! This is actually something we're discussing internally but in the near future we have other things to accomplish before open sourcing it.

@svedova Thanks for the response! It would be great and will be happy to contribute and I am sure there will be many more who can join as a contributor. I know some of the open-source project in the similar space but that is not so active like StaticDeploy. The JamStack has became powerful more than ever and it can handle more than just static site. But things are moving slow due to the closed ecosystem like Amplify Studio. We need more open system like Vue, React, Vite that can just change the way of building. Building in public is a game changer.

@cupboard319 thanks for the feedback! Let's leave this issue open to gather feedback from others. The more request we have the more we can prioritize this 👍

I just stumbled upon this project. And after reading the conversation, I vote for making Storm Kit backend basically everything open-source and building it in public ✅

It would be amazing to build something in open and benefit the whole ecosystem. I feel it's the best way to build something stable and stronger faster with the help of the community. Currently, I am building two open-source projects Jenga-UI Figma Library, and an Icon Library. Cheers!

@shweta-kaushal thanks for your interest 🙏 As said, the more people are interested the more motivated we also are to open source it :)

I also vote to make stormkit open-source, I think building it in public will accelerate both the development and growth of the project.

I have already contributed to the frontend of StromKit and will be happy to help with the backend. 😄

Thank you @filippofinke for your interest as well :) Happy to see your great contributions 🙏🏻

Great project! Count my vote 🗳️ for making stormkit open-source. I am a product designer and will be happy to contribute in the capacity of UX/UI, accessibility, and localization. Let me know, the contribution guidelines for the same.

Coming from our Discord conversation >>>> Thanks @svedova for sharing this issue. Kindly, Count my vote 🙌 for making Stormkit backend open-source and making it as a great open company. I truly believe and support the open companies like Cal.com, Plausible.io, Artsy.net and rooting for Stormkit after reading this tweet https://twitter.com/savasvedova/status/1504225587539451907 IMHO, building and growing in open is the best way to move forward and looking forward to Stormkit backend open-sourcing and participate as a contributor very soon.

Presently, I am switching my career from enterprise SaaS product to open-source products. We do use to contribute in many OS projects from our company GH a/c. Now it's time to participate in an individual capacity. Exploring the Gitlab Pages and Pulumi for now.

At last some motivation to all the folks here who all are building the OS projects. Let's take an inspiration from Plausible team, how they are growing as a true open company and also supporting other OS projects https://plausible.io/giving-back Lots of love, power and support to people like these. Learning a lot from them.

Cheers 🚀🙂

Coming back to this issue after a month and happy to see the people's interest and enthusiasm with respect to willingness in learning and participate as a contributor to this project.

cc @svedova I think, it's right time you should take all these helping hands, build-in-public and grow fast organically. Count me in one of those helping hands in the possible capacity.

I also prefer Pulumi over Terraform and not just because there is no adoption barrier but it's quite simple to configure. Just configure the state files for all things related to cloud services and deployment in simple .yaml file and it'll work like charm. 10x better DX. But Terraform is more popular and it has larger community with the fact that it came before Pulumi.

All The Best to your new journey and wish you a smooth transition to your career.

PS: We did migrated to Cal.com from Calendly and also have used Plausible in some of the project. This is the first time I checked at Artsy, great product and practice. They're Open by Default. :) https://artsy.github.io/open-source/
