Open source
Joeybuilt is built in the open. The platform is licensed under AGPL-3.0, and Fylo and Pushd under MIT — you can read every line, self-host everything, and contribute back. The SaaS is how the company sustains itself. Self-hosted users are not second-class.
Licensing
The platform — Plexo and the infrastructure around it — is AGPL-3.0. AGPL ensures that if someone runs a modified version of the software as a service, they must share their changes. This protects the community's investment in the codebase while keeping everything open.
Fylo and Pushd are MIT licensed. Use them, fork them, embed them — the only requirement is keeping the license notice.
You can self-host every Joeybuilt product without restriction. You can modify it for your own use. If you offer an AGPL product as a service to others, your changes must be open-sourced under the same license. That's the deal.
Contributing
Every repo in the joeybuilt-official org accepts contributions. Start with an issue. Read the CONTRIBUTING.md in the repo you're interested in. The codebase is TypeScript end-to-end — if you can write TypeScript, you can contribute.
