The core of Primitive is open source, written in Go.

Only the UI is closed source. It's written in Objective-C and basically shells out to the Go code.

I was just poking through some of the code and noticed that there seem to a lot of open bugfix PRs [1]. Have you thought about going through and upstreaming some of them? Many of them seem like quick reviews.

Edit: Also, if you would like some help maintaining it, I imagine plenty of fellow HN-ers (including me) would love to help.

I noticed the PRs too. Looks like one of the people submitting them has also been maintaining their own branch[1] with a bunch merged.

Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated. (sorry couldn't resist, and don't know where the c++ implementation is)
