    Congrats. I'm also a COSS founder and think this is a very smart step for a product like rerun. Feel free to ping me if you want to chat open-source more.

    I'm a cofounder at Lotus ( https://github.com/uselotus/lotus ). First, congrats on the launch Lago. I've been very impressed with your ability to educate devs about the intricacies…
