Open-sourcing

[jlongster]

I'm sure you all have talked about this a lot, but I would like to see this open-sourced sooner rather than later. I appreciate wanting to do something for the conf attendees, and that is pretty cool, but the longer this is open-sourced the more the rest of the community will feel excluded (as more and more tweets & posts are made, etc).

I have a blog post I'm working on, for example, but I'm not going to post it until this is open-sourced because otherwise I feel like I'm rubbing my early access in other's faces.

The goal of this private repo is to give us some time to expose all the features that we have internally and get the feedback from people before opening the flood gates. Feel free to demo it and talk about what's inside

I'm pretty sure everyone is on the same page as far as open sourcing sooner rather than later...

To give a bit more context. We're doing it in private because we're not ready yet. We don't yet have a way to take in pull requests, we can't run a React native app on device, we can't push back updates that we've done internally. All of those are super basic things that are not working.

If we were to open it up to people now, they would likely have a bad experience. Please give us some time to get our house in order with the open source process. We want to open it as soon as possible, trust me :)
