support & open source ideas

[hex_user]

Should Hex os be open source, should they use sites like GitHub to replace their website? If so, what for, and how?

Dear Hex OS developers

I think Hex OS should use a site like GitHub for support feedback, and maintenance because this would:

• take the work of its team and allow it to be community-maintained while also being moderated
• speed up development
• help reach a broader audience
• lower price for the customer and the company.
• this would help produce a better picture of problems and solutions for hex os software
• allow more people to have access to help propose software changes.

p.s.  several companies use GitHub(ex. Ubuntu, and Chocolatey)

providing useful ideas,

Hi bud,

I know JonP has mentioned that there are some parts of HexOS that are/will be open source, but I don't believe the whole project will be.

As for bug and feature request tracking, I think having a bit more structured of a platform may be a good idea. I don't know if the team has a ticket system yet, but I'm sure that will come with time as the team grows and the project progresses.

Over the last few days we have had a HUGE influx of users, and I sense that it may be becoming a lot to keep tabs on all of the thoughts, suggestions, and comments that have been made, so this is a good idea at it's core, even if the details might not end up exactly how you are imagining 😊

P.S. I removed the duplicate thread you posted in the other sub forum. I think it makes the most sense in this one.

I would agree.

A freemium / community driven open-source option would be in tune with everything the project is relying on.

I've paid for the project, believing it has the potential to be a game-changer for my family and friends who are not me - or might not have me around when they need/want something like this
