    Textual's source is on GitHub, and the most recent commit was only 4 months ago, so it appears it's still being worked on.

    Textual¹ is open-source but sells the precompiled app. Keka² has the app available for free on GitHub but charges for it on the Mac App Store, to support development.

    Textual is a good example of this working IRL for me. Their app is one of the best IMO IRC clients on MacOS, is open source [1] and is also sold on the App store and their site.

    Two quick examples: Keka and Textual[2] are both open-source and you can pay for them on the Mac App Store or by direct payment. The former gives you compiled builds either way, the latter only if you pay.
