Feedback wanted: open sourced house hunting project

For several months I worked on an idea to help people hunt for properties to buy or rent. For various reasons I realised I wasn't going to be able to complete it to the level needed to monetise it. This weekend I decided to open source it:

https://github.com/etewiah/house-hunting-kanban

Would love to get some feedback about this decision. Is it something you would've done? Are there some risks I need to be aware off? Many thanks.

    Update. I have now significantly improved the product and released it here:

    I see in your project that it's using Vuejs right? Curious what you think about it. I've mainly worked with React for web dev so far & exploring other stuff to solve new problems that come up - primarily server side rendering. I want to be able to build quick pages for some new projects & pair them with something like Airtable for a DB - looking at Gatsbyjs right now.

      I'm not doing server side rendering myself because when I investigated it about a year ago it was tricky to do. I use rails for the backend and I'm pretty happy with it. There are so many options now that its hard to evaluate and decide which is best. I like rails mainly because I've been using it for so long.

        Nice to hear I'm not alone in investigating SSR haha. You're right so many options. My web toolset is React & Node for now but as I dive deeper into web dev I'm sure I'll explore more :D
