That'll do it. That config is used for the production build of Yaak that's downloadable from the website. Just running "tauri build" or "npm run app-build" is what you want.

How are you running it? The code for the license management and badge are not included by default when running "npm start" or "npm run app-build".

And yes, you can indeed run the OSS yourself for commercial purposes.

Yep, that's what the fallback is for

Faster, smoother, GRPC, plugins, themes, fully open source, no telemetry,...

Yep, no VC! Though I have invested 2 years of my own living expenses into it, trying to make it work.

Ya, it's so funny to be going up against a 1000+ person company as a solo dev!

I currently direct these people to sponsor on GitHub

I've already sold once, and regretted it. I'm aiming to call Yaak "done" in the next few years and use it to fund my* retirement. See you there

This is my retirement project. I'd like to call it "done" within 2 years

How so? It's completely open source and doesn't rely on cloud accounts or servers. It's also just me. Postman has 1000 employees and $200M+ in funding

My runway reaches infinity around $10k MRR so I'll likely do a post around then. Currently 11% of the way there!

It's a bit lower on the priority list, but it'll get there https://feedback.yaak.app/p/flatpak-and-flathub

No plans for VSCode integration, no. It's only great because it's designed for a very specific use case and environment.

I'm not quite sure why Yaak wouldn't work in this case. It it because your running server wouldn't be accessible to Yaak, running on your system?

The commercial license terms only apply to the prebuilt binaries. You can build and run the OSS version for whatever purpose you'd like. Check the last FAQ on the pricing page

This is a conscious bet I'm making.

Yes, it's a good-faith license. The license doesn't even apply to the OSS version (only prebuilt binaries).

The bet is that super fans will pay for it in the early days and, as it gets adopted by larger companies, they will pay in order to comply with the legalities of commercial use. So far, it's working! The largest company so far is 34 seats, with a couple more in the pipe!
