#22It warms my old heart when projects use the AGPL (or GPL) licence. It's a "small" thing to do that tells me that you're not just waiting for VC but actually really care about your work and the world. (I'm not saying that MIT or other similar licences are used exclusively by people that don't care, I understand that sometimes you just don't have the bandwidth)
I don’t understand where you’re saying. A/GPL generally just means corporate won’t use your solution, and that others won’t integrate and as such, monetize your solution. You can still be VC funded and monetize your own GPL code yourself? The Zed editor is a great example.

I don't understand. What would prevent the authors from guaranteeing the VCs re-licensing under a different model?

Nothing.
It just warms my heart to see the (A)GPL being used in the same way that seeing a friendly gesture, a patient caretaker, punks, hippies, queers or other things I associate with kindness and community building in the wild.

#25'missing complement to git' seems to be a great value proposition. However, I think it is still a long way for this to become an alternative to Google docs or overleaf in the context of projects e.g. hosted on gitlab. We have moved many collabotative projects with external partners to gitlab, but the pain point is always realtime collaboration. Having something like this integrates in gitlab's vs code based online editor with a decent integration with actual commit/merge logic would be a game changer in many projects trying to convince people to switch from SharePoint/Google drive to a git based workflow. The local first thing would be just the cherry on top of it all.

I'm just saying I get warm fuzzy feelings, that's all <3

The LiveShare plugin in VSCode works well. But maybe not open enough for you.

>corporate won’t use your solution
Look at all the liunx foundations dominated by ms, oracle playing out their corporate politics. Would take that as as good thing.

#29Much appreciate seeing the huge wave of new local-first libraries/tools !
Maybe someone can explain how this compares to other solutions like y.js or automerge ?
