That's great to see. You're missing a LICENSE.md though, is it MIT licensed (as per package.json)?

Also, what does "most of" mean? What parts are closed source? Do the open source parts comprise a complete and usable app?

Someone created an issue about licensing: https://github.com/noya-app/noya/issues/372

The app frontend is open source while the backend is closed source, at least for now. Noya should run without the backend, but some things like sharing projects won't work. I'm planning to publish the individual frontend packages to npm as an "SDK for building design tools", so anybody can import "noya-canvas", "noya-renderer", etc, to build their own design tool.

As for the license, I still need to sort that out. It will very likely all be Apache 2.0, but perhaps dual licensed MIT or something else. Licensing/docs/contribution guidelines/etc are lacking right now, so I don't recommend using the source code for anything yet - but may be interesting to poke around on GitHub.
