Yes you're right.
That's fair I guess. But it's not open source currently on purpose, for multiple reasons:
- I'm working very hard to create solid differentiating factors - like a very efficient reader mode and dark mode for websites.
- The ad blocking tech is a huge differentiator currently compared to others. MANY fail to even block simple stuff like Google Analytics (just an example).
- Too many people try every day to use some sort of man in the middle application or faux purchase application to try and fake a subscription for Snap Search. If the code is exposed, it's easier to cheat the system.
- I personally wouldn't pay for an open source product if I could just get it up and running myself.
But I understand what you're trying to say. Will honestly definitely consider it
