Free advertising on Haker News. 10 bucks net profit without any grows is also profitable. Getting to the main page of HN was worth open sourcing what had no potential anyway. This is my reasoning, I'm not the creator of this.

I really like that you are using nestjs, idk why some devs hate it, IMHO its the best node framework that can be used to build production ready apps, i started using it a month ago at work and it was my first time using it, and it already made so productive
Very cool! Form builders are really fun applications to build and teach you a lot about more advanced relational models (like polymorphic relations) I scrapped together a form-builder-with-payments using RoR and RailsAdmin last year for my club and ended up spinning it off into a pay-per-use SaaS[1]. As it turns out, forms are a fundamental aspect of a LOT of things, and offering free use tools can change the game fo…
What do you mean by club exactly?
Not every club charges dues, but those that do generally start off with a google form and a pinky promise that you'll send your dues after submitting the form.
Works for awhile but it's hard to maintain, speaking as someone who's had to do this before. embolt is my go at offering a member platform with a very low (the lowest) barrier of entry to getting up and running with paid registrations forms & an admin dashboard.

I generally mean a member based organizations, could be a book club or professional association or anything of the sorts.

Considering that this is SaaS, are you sure GPL is sufficient here? Did you consider AGPL?

But it needs attribution and he can say what attribution is valid, no? IANAL so can't say for sure but does GPLv3 have same issue as early CC? https://doctorow.medium.com/a-bug-in-early-creative-commons-...
Yes and no. While the author can specify an attribution notice, the GPL limits it to being relayed amongst “appropriate legal notices” - these typically appear in an EULA or About screen. Otherwise an “inappropriate” attribution requirement could be misused to prevent modification of certain parts of the work. As for the issue with CC, GPLv3 gives a 30 day grace period for rectifying violations which obviates many po…

NestJS is nodeJS for Java people. It's like Angular in that sense. So some people will feel like it's over engineered. I mean it's overengineered. Why do I have to register all these things, and why does it keep crashing if I register it like this without any understandable error message. It has a little bit of an OCD relationship with dependency injection. Where the normal import system can handle most of those case…
Yeah, I don't know, most of the time only time you actually need dep injection is for tests, and at that point why not just mock with Jest? Feels too much just having to do all this work just to complicate dependencies and make moving around more difficult for tests when a much simpler solution is available.
What is the reason for “open sourcing” this , when any meaningful implementation is locked away behind services and is closed source. I just think these kind of use cases confuses users. There is no problem in being closed source and proprietary (unless you are using preexisting open source code and open sourcing those parts of your code makes it legally compliant) . In any case it is confusing at best and misleading…
As someone seeking a purely open source forms solution, what do you mean by this?
