How to partner with open source projects?

Hi all,

I've been working on a healthcare dashboard that leverages an open source project (http://www.nightscout.info).

In sum, my dashboard proxies data requests to a user's Nightscout site and displays the information. In the future, I plan on developing a healthcare dashboard subscription service, similar to Strava's model. In terms of pricing, I have no goals / opinions on this subject at the moment.

My site does not store any information (only a handful of user settings provided during registration) at this point. I don't plan on storing users data at all.

I utilized the community group to adopt a handful of beta-users (approximately 7) and now I already have folks calling me to open source my project within 6 hours of making the site available to public beta-testers.

While I'm all for the greater good, I have a few questions:

• How do balance the respect of the community I'm building on without burning bridges?

• Is there a way for me to meet their needs and what I see as my own hard work? I've put a lot of hours into this project and I'm not really ready to just give everyone free access to the source code. I'm not sure what's there to gain by looking at my code in the first place (outside of folks copying it for personal use).

• The code itself doesn't contain any secret sauce, it's just a Material UI dashboard built with boiler-plate and VictoryCharts...
