It would be a little funny that GitHub, a proprietary code hosting platform, suddenly cares that proprietary software uses it to host bug reports or other assets. This isn't the first project I've seen that is nothing more than a README and exists simply for people to file issues. e.g. there is https://github.com/cursive-ide/cursive
With that said, Codeberg has a strict policy of hosting software licensed under an OSI or FSF approved license.[1] They will actually take down repositories that do not follow this guideline.
at this page, https://httpie.io/desktop, there's a logo that says "open sores, open hearted, open minded." it's misleading, then. at least remove that part in the page.
Can you be more clear? Is the Desktop app going to be open-source in the future? If so, what license?
Do you intend to monetize this product? If so, how?
As a side note: I find it strange that you feel the product is not stable enough to share the code, but apparently stable enough to share the product itself.
> Can you be more clear? Is the Desktop app going to be open-source in the future? If so, what license?
Yes, but have no ETA or license choice yet.
> Do you intend to monetize this product? If so, how?
Yes. We strongly believe in a freemium where both free and premium users are happy. We’ll primarily monetize collaboration and enterprise features without cannibalizing free users. In this sense, we’re inspired by companies like GitHub or Figma. And in our case, free also includes users without an account.

Running an open-source project well is not easy and takes resources. Building a great product is hard on its own. Our primary goal is to design and build the best API product possible, so we direct all our energy there for now.
