I'm working on an open source alternative to Clockwise, Reclaim and Motion. It will be targeting open source remote teams who need frequent internal meetings. I'm looking for a cofounder once I open source it to apply to YC after some traction.

Just considering this as a new business venture. Would you be intrigued and interested in it? We have a jewellery family business but I'm a techie by heart. I wanted to combine the two. What do you think?

I'm thinking about open sourcing my project but there are multiple hurdles to this.

1. I have aws services including serverless, cognito, dynamodb, amplify on the project as the initial intention was not to open source.

2. The open source parts run on container services and kubernetes and the whole server side might be expensive for indie's to run just for the benefits of creating a conflict free schedule on google calendar

3. If I open source it, do I have to rewrite all the aws services into open source alternatives?

What do you guys think?

What are benefits vs risk?

I think there will be an increase level of trust if I open source but AWS services adds a whole lot of complexity for anyone to self host.

Plus V2 of the project (work in progress) which is a hybrid between clockwise and doodle would also be open source if I open source v1.
