Why Not Open Source?
The list could go on, but you get the point; open source is hard and it takes a toll on your emotional well-being. The only way open source can work is in a corporate setting where full-time maintainers are paid to manage the project, can take breaks, and be replaced if desired.
Unfortunately, the fact that Yaak is a small indie project means this isn’t possible.
So what’s the answer then? Can we get the benefits of open source without the burden? Yes, I think plugins can do just that!
