  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • infisical

    ♾ Infisical is the open-source secret management platform: Sync secrets across your team/infrastructure and prevent secret leaks.

  • Co-founder of Infisical here — we're an open-core business that's operating a model similar to some other open-core companies like GitLab, PostHog, Chatwoot, Sentry, etc. You may want to see how these companies are able to monetize their open-source offerings; what ends up happening, as others in this thread have pointed out, is that there will be free and paid/proprietary features as part of the codebase.

  • PostHog

    🦔 PostHog provides open-source product analytics, session recording, feature flagging and A/B testing that you can self-host.

  • You may be inspired by the license that these companies use/list on their repo.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.
