I'm thinking I may open source some of the components I use, rather than publishing the whole thing, as it's part of a larger monorepo that contains the somewhat integrated code for a large set of services, public and private.

None of the code is particularly fancy, just highly specialized. I did build them myself mostly because I couldn't find anything available that the rather special demands that are put on the application.

That's understandable. I just wasn't sure if anybody mentioned what I said by now, or if you were already thinking about this, so I at least wanted to get the thoughts in your mind before HN closes all comments.

Also, if I'm not being too rude, your posts were a little hard for me to understand, so I thought that releasing some or all of the code would help people (and myself) understand them better, ignoring the teaching stuff that I already talked about. With code, people can debug and change it to show what the program's doing. It'd also at least satisfy some people's curiosity (and probably use up their weekend).

And thanks for replying!
