Will never signup to this thing.
No clear plan how to monetize project , ask 100% of github accounts permission ?
Sounds like a terrible idea of something that could later be sold to companies selling advertising.

Not sure if the creator wants to monetize necessarily. He's a huge fan of open source and contributes to some really big projects.
I will say the permissions was a turn off for me as well though

Then why is the license not something Open Source projects usually use like MIT, Apache etc.
This is barely "Open Source"

#24Interesting, seems useful. I don't use GitHub enough to necessitate needing an entire TweetDesk like solution, but I can see the practicality for those that maintain repositories. The license however, for anyone looking into hosting this themselves, is not open source, but only source available. Here is the complete license (without the emojis, looks like they don't parse on HN): # License Copyright (c) 2018 [Bruno L…
It's clearly open source. What you mean to say is that it's not Free Software. Don't get me wrong I'm an ally of open source, but the very notion that open source or free software are somehow protected words is funny by itself.
Someone created a decent app, posted the source for it and allows you to play around with it. Be grateful, or ignore it, or bash it for technical reasons, but this "I don't actually care about the software I just came to say it's not really open source", because that one mention in the readme is odd to me.
I'm kind of assuming it might turn open core at some point in the future, but for now it's not.
Edit: I'm fully aware that the comment is controversial and not happily received by the HN community, but contrary to popular belief the open source initiative has no copyright claim to the words open source, merely to the open source initiative phrase. No downvotes will change that.
But even if you use the phrases by opensource.com:
The term "open source" refers to something people can
modify - fork
and share - pull request
because its design is publicly accessible.
I fully get why someone would dislike the strict way he defined his license terms, but it's still in accordance with modify and share.
"If you move beyond modifying the code and decide to distribute your modified version (or the original), that is the point at which there may be compliance issues with the open source license. You only need to check you are passing on the same rights to others as you received with the original code. "
You can distribute it just fine using the pull-requests. Again, it's fine to be against this, but "you're not allowing me to distribute it the way i want therefore it can't be open source" is a moot point.
I'm not argueing for his license, but I'm against the senseless bashing of licenses I disagree with.

#25This is pretty cool. I could definitely see myself liking this interface as I already like tweetdeck. I'm not quite sure it's worth all the access I need to grant for my account though.

#26After like.. a couple of minutes I think I got it now. Tweetdeck is another popular app and this is kind of like it, but for Github instead of Twitter?
Really confusing title for someone who have no clue about what tweetdeck was, which I assume most of us don't. Still doesn't understand what it actually does for me since I have no clue what tweetdeck does?

The license does not meet the Open Source Definition (based on the Debian Free Software Guidelines), which means it is not open source.

I think you're confusing this with the difference between having to make additions available as open source as well (like with the GPL) versus being able to keep additions closed source (like MIT or BSD).
In this case, however, you're not allowed to distribute additions at all, unless you contribute them back to the original project. In other words, forking's not allowed.
That's not commonly considered to be open source.

#29Access to all the production code I‘ve written in recent years? How about no? I hope nobody in my connected organizations signs up with that permission. Those are potentially millions of Euros of value (not only my own code!), exposed to someone I don’t have a contract with.
I signed up with public permissions, that should be fine. But please just remove the private part. It’s plain irresponsible even if there is no malicious intent. What if someone stole all the tokens from their DB?

Yes why does the app ask for private permissions then? Open source projects are public.
