The decision to keep Hollow closed source isn’t about restricting users, it’s about ensuring stability while maximizing customization through plugins and themes. you can extend it freely using the plugin system, much like how browsers allow extensions without requiring users to alter their source code.
I understand concerns about long term sustainability and rug pulls. Unlike subscription based models or cloud locked apps, Hollow is 100% local, and the app remains fully usable regardless of future updates. The goal is to foster a plugin driven ecosystem rather than requiring contributors to maintain the core software.
And Thanks for trying out Hollow, really glad to hear you find it promising.
