- Project mention: Ask HN: Is using GitHub for a closed-source product considered "not cool"? | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-04-23
I use a GitHub repository for release distribution for a cross-platform desktop application. The source code itself is not open source. However, I keep testing scripts and binaries for all supported platforms. Additionally, the repo also serves as a GitHub page.
I explicitly have a disclaimer [1] about it not being an open-source project.
Is this a bad appeal from a community perspective?
