Hi @jocieprosza
We were good to opensource our project even if the project was not going to be funded. Recently, we saw a huge amount of HIVE fund being supported for small things and the whales were supporting it.
Whales must have seen our proposal and we have specifically tagged them there also but they were not ready to support our 30 SBD proposal for a team that is competent enough to design and develop a world class application.
Our efforts, passion and work is worth some value. This proposal will barely cover the cost of building the product. It's in the hands of the community and what they want. We will do as the community want us to do but in return there should be something that will benefit us.
We don't have any problem if this proposal does not receive any support. It will be then be our own exclusive product.
Thanks for your response.
There was a comment in this post you should contact whales via discord, but I suggest you contact hive.blog devs as well in order to coordinate work or just ideas. Maybe they will have some insights about both technical side and the economic one
We have some really exciting plans for the future. Our first priority is to implement all of the current features that #hive provide. Once we have all set up, we will be focusing on the mass onboarding.
