So you copied something that someone spent time on designing, decided to open-source, and now you're killing the steam for James' pre-order campaign by posting everywhere. You are the reason we cannot share publicly the projects we work on.
Great questions! In Notion you can have as many workspaces as you want, but you only have to pay for workspaces that are shared with your team. So for example, you can create a new personal workspace and use unlimited blocks for free.
Notocat only uses Notion as an editor. If Notion folds, than Notocat will most likely be pivoted to an in-house editor instead. It will definitely affect the business targeting though. This is because services like Notocat are marketed toward Notion users, as you mentioned.
I'm Raz, the creator of Notocat and I'm excited to share that I just launched my new product and it's live for everyone to use.
The product started as a Notion to email HTML renderer that I was using for my other business. Then I saw the opportunity to reshape this as an entire product, and Notocat is the result of all the work.
It comes with a lot of features that you'd expect from a newsletter platform, including:
- Advanced issues customization
- Custom and embeddable subscribe forms
- Custom domains
- Opens & Links tracking
- Contacts API
- Best-in-class deliverability
Really happy to receive feedback, so please let me know if there is anything you'd like to share!
Grafana is an amazing product and offers a lot more features than Chartbrew. The main difference is that grafana focuses on monitoring performance metrics and Chartbrew is more tailored for business/product metrics.
Also, quite a few of our customers use Chartbrew because of the Firebase integrations
It's an open-source data visualization and reporting platform that I started in 2018, I abandoned in 2019, then resumed working on it more seriously in 2020.
Currently, the platform is doing $1,138 in MRR from then managed hosting service and has made over $11k in revenue so far. It's been growing steadily in the last few months but going through a rough Dec-Jan period at the moment. You can see the open page at https://chartbrew.com/open
Onwards and great job everyone at working to make side projects work for you!
Great to hear that :) Don't hesitate to get in touch if you need help with the setup. There will be links to get in touch all over the place when you sign up haha
Chartbrew founder here, just wanted to clarify for readers that Chartbrew doesn't store any data from the 3rd party tools so there's no silo problem. It queries the data sources, computes the data, and stores only the chart configurations.
The only storage Chartbrew does is to cache the data while building a chart so the data source is not queried too many times and the user can see changes quicker. Afterwards, Chartbrew keeps the charts updated with data coming directly from the other tools.
Looking at the license, it looks like it's possible, but you will need to release your own code under the AGPLv3 license and make it available to others. That means if you add an auth layer on top of the project, you will need to make that layer available under the same license.
> The AGPL License does not permit sublicensing of the code; that is, you cannot rework or add to the code and then close those changes off to the public. The “open source-ness” of the original code follows any update or addition. Both GPL v2 and GPL v3 contain this provision as well.
