I’m a solopreneur who currently runs a super niche digital signage app already (3 years in next month), and I’ve been in the process of a major platform rewrite for it.
However, I also build open core / commercial open source applications, and I’ve been greatly considering doing a potential rebrand and rebuild from the ground up. I LOVE open source stuff, and I think monetized open source is a good sustainability path for small solopreneurs like me.
What’s the appetite for open source digital signage? Anyone ever want to self-host DS or do you prefer a cloud-ready solution like most companies do today?
I feel like open source DS could be really awesome so that people can build their own apps/widgets and submit them as new plugins.
I don’t have any code ready yet, and still not 100% sure if I want to take this route, but if you might be interested in this here is the GitHub repository:
Edit: solopreneurship 101, I should have launched a little landing page with a newsletter/waitlist signup for those interested. Sorry about that. If you’re interested, feel free to star the git repo or email me at daniel@solopreneur.sh and I can add you to a newsletter list (only if you’re comfortable, no pressure). Happy to see several express interest.
