  • Project: Joplin joplinapp.org !joplinapp@sopuli.xyz

    What it does right: Focus on user experience by aligning aims of product with aim of users.

    Everything it does is foss, however its main revenue achieving product (cloud sync target) is focused on convenience rather than vendor lock-in. So it incentivizes the project to cater to its users.

    What’s so unique about it: due to lack of monetary incentive a lot of oss projects simply forget about the user and serve mostly to themselves. They fail to listen to feedback because listening to feedback means loss of resources rather than gaining them. As a result many critical bugs are unfixed for decades and UI is so dated no new users want to use the product.

    TLDR: don’t forget to create revenue generating module along with the main foss product
