Would love it if there was an email list I can subscribe to so I can keep up to date with development. I don't have a use for Trigger right now, but it seems like a cool tool that I want to keep up with.
We don’t have a newsletter at the moment so the best way to stay up to date is via Discord where we’ll be posting all our updates: https://discord.gg/hYmCPJRDcb
- Advertised as "Open Source", yet this is actually a paid product with a pricing page.
- You don't even have a guide on how to install this thing... euh, I mean what's the point of this if I can't use it?
- You have a complicated license: https://github.com/triggerdotdev/trigger.dev/blob/main/LICEN.... You might have an "open" source as anyone can see the source but it's not as open as say an MIT license for the whole project.
- Your pricing conflicts with your open source users. You need them to build and improve the product but you also want them to have a worse experience otherwise your cloud-hosted solution will not prevail.
Would love this self-hosted. The license says "All content that resides under any "ee/" directory of this repository, if such directories exists, are licensed under the license defined in "ee/LICENSE".", but there's no folder named ee? What is this referring to?
We haven't done any ee features yet, which is why we stuck that "if such directories exists" line in there. We're following the playbook from some other OSS companies such as PostHog and Cal.com. Features that will go in ee (off the top of my head) are the teams and billing features of our hosted option. We'll be working on self-hosting instructions soon as well :)

At first I thought that a code alternative for a no-code solution like zapier was counterintuitive. But as an engineer using Zapier (for the first time) these past few months I got so frustrated by the lack of an option to just write some "if" or just 2 lines of code to make things work the way I want them. I think trigger.dev nails it. This is exactly what I needed.
n8n is also great about this. It retains the visual “easy mode” environment but lets you drop in a JavaScript node whenever you need to do something more complex
1. I want a proper IDE
2. Proper typing so the feedback cycle is faster.
3. Being able to use external packages
4. Being able to quickly test my custom node across old runs.
Their JavaScript nodes take me an absurd amount of time to get right. And I've needed to use them far more often than I would like.

self hosting feels like an afterthought. That's a red flag, it means they actually don't have any open source users or ecosystem.
It's not the model that bothers me (if you want to mix OS with SaaS/Paid, then it's all good) but the false and dark-pattern advertising.
