Tamagui generates enough revenue to support our team currently, but we do want to make this a viable company.
Not sure yet exactly how, but One will always be OSS and further I don't ever want to try the whole "lets make it hard to deploy and have no docs on how" - it's already super easy to deploy anywhere, it builds to something you can basically serve statically, and is very simple architecturally. That's a big feature.
Do you mind sharing how you are creating revenue on open source developer libraries? I.e. what was your path from initially publishing to being able to sustain a team? I have the foundations of one (vaguely in the same space, but different market) and would like to do similar.
Tamagui revenue is 20% sponsors, the rest our paid starter kit and pro UI components.
Honestly I don’t recommend this path. The work to payback doesn’t make sense still to this day. I wish OSS was more viable, but we still have a long path to go to get to success.
