Public source code? #6

Closed Hamz-a closed 10 years ago

Hamz-a commented 10 years ago

Will you ever put the source code online? Or maybe a part of it? You might get support from the community.

Maybe in the future.

All this work should not disappear if anything prevents you from keeping the site online. This is an awesome tool and it deserves to become "immortal" by being publish under an open source license.

:+1: Definitely agree!

:+1: So when will this future arrive?

If you're already using GitHub I think it would be a great idea to Open Source it as it was already suggested in https://github.com/firasdib/Regex101/issues/77 and https://github.com/firasdib/Regex101/issues/89.

You will get a star from me if you do so. That's for sure. :smiley:

tuxayo commented 8 years ago

Me too, it's a really nice tool that I wish would be durable by being open sourced

@firasdib you could really use some help to make it offline capable and PWA, if it were open source..

rugk commented 7 years ago

@firasdib, so in the FAQ you state you have no such plans, which is a bit different to your last statement "maybe in the future". I'd suggest you: right now. :smiley:

Also you could reopen this issue when you think to potentially FLOSS it* in the future…

6 years later, and sadly it's still proprietary. I'd also donate if regex101 goes open source.

Ailothaen commented 4 years ago

I support this suggestion. Even if we can still access the website, having an offline version would be useful for settings where there is no internet access, or when we are dealing with sensitive data that must not leave the company's network.

Doqnach commented 4 years ago

Offline version is not part of this discussion, please see #76 and related issues instead.

Ailothaen commented 4 years ago

I think I badly explained it: what would be nice, in my case, is having the source code of the app, so it can be hosted on one's own servers. An offline version is useful, but as it is opaque its code cannot be seen, and it is a concern when we are dealing with sensitive data.

Doqnach commented 4 years ago

If you use it offline, no data is ever sent to the server. If you don't save an entry, no data is sent to the server. So you have full control over what data is sent to the server if that is your concern.

savchenko commented 3 years ago

@Doqnach , I think the point @Ailothaen makes is valid: if development is on "air-gapped" network, regex101 can't be loaded in a first place.

I quite agree with this. The point should not be (only) about practicality but (also) about freedom – freedom to understand, to change and to have durable access. I'm not highly comfortable with the idea of relying, on a routine basis for code development, on a non-free software, that I won't be able to study or to amend, or may loose access to in the future. gskinner/regexr may have slightly less features, but is open sourced.

Thank you for the tip! I was looking for something like this in the past.
