This is a very interesting discussion. James was getting lonely/burnt-out working on Actual and decided he could not continue solo. So lightly pursued selling it, but ended up open sourcing it. This has generated a lot of interest and and in the end he might have more commercial opportunity. There is a bit of filler to wade through, but some real insights as well:
- example of why the app stores are such a pain
- lots of lessons learned
- broken things should be fixed right away – otherwise, the longer they stay broken the more likely they will stay that way and drag down the rest of the project with it
- a discussion of absurd-sql
