Hey Fellow Indie Devs,
Can you roast my post?

I'm trying to frame my product in the current open source ecosystem and how it benefits JS developers—I'd love your honest feedback
I'd like to post this on HackerNews tomorrow ... (Friday, May 13th ... maybe I should rethink! Isn't Friday the 13th supposed to be unlucky??)
Cheers,
Spencer
Some misc feedback:
npm.npm publish,npm install, and most importantlynpm payoutor something that shows the single additional command (whatever you'll actually call it) in the same framing as the original npm workflowbest of luck! 😄
Two quick things:
Good luck, that's a great article!
@DanHulton—ah right, time ... clearly I don't have a good grip on it!
Appreciate the insight about the timing of posts. I'll save this until Saturday :)
Ping @saasify because I know you have thoughts that I’d love to hear :)
And @jakeprins and @DanHulton who are working on stuff in this domain!
Sort of? I'm rolling my own private licensing option for Nodewood partially to "eat my own dogfood" - the Nodewood site will of course be built with Nodewood. But I definitely have thought of making any sort of additional features to Nodewood as both a library that can be licensed outside of Nodewood and an integrated feature inside of Nodewood, so I'll keep PremiumJS in mind for those libraries.
