Well done! I have a couple questions... 1) Was this project open from the beginning, or did you wait a while? 2) Who of you two comes with the previous FOSS project background? Those documentation chops ARE ELITE! haha Cheers

Hey Anthony,

Thx for the super cool feedback πŸ˜ƒ

1) Yes of course, the project is open source since the begin πŸ˜‰

At the begin it was a "small demo" for a presentation I did, then I went a bit crazy on new features and wrote a core and finally Nicolas joined me and we made the step to begin to write a proper full editor and platform.

You could even go back in time in our Github repo's releases till the very first one: github.com/deckgo/deckdeckgo/relea...

2) We both kind of have a bit of experience with OSS. Mostly as users or contributors but we also had previous experiences open sourcing project we started.

Notably Nicolas published snack (github.com/nmattia/snack), a Nix-based incremental build tool for Haskell projects, and I published my previous startup project Fluster (github.com/fluster/fluster-app)

Again, thx for the feedback πŸ‘
