Hello,

Has releasing the backend as open source been considered?

Open-sourcing the backend is not an option, as the backend is partially based on assets not allowed to be open sourced.

Yours,

                           Tuukka

+1 for removing. It doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to have it without the backend :)

Cheers,
Lars
