Hi. I haven't really thought about open-sourcing the code and apps that might want to use SeeLink yet. However, I am working on an API since I'm building a Chrome extension to communicate with the product and make it easier to add links. Do you have any idea as to what kinds of apps might find communicating with SeeLink useful? The app is built in Python with Flask, and I have used Bootstrap on the frontend.

Well just to express my bias I am a big fan of open source and contribute to several open source projects; one of which I could see talking to your API if you had one. Also, not sure how many people have developed your application, but having lots of feedback from a community on discord or some such service; especially if in the future you decided to open source the project could solidify your project as the go to open source project in this space. I am not aware; but others could chime in current open source projects of this completeness like yours that are open source.

An example of an app that might want to integrate with your service could possibly be tools like https://www.notion.so

Agree with most of the points you have made here. Would be super cool if other open-source projects or applications could find a use for SeeLink. I haven't thought much about open sourcing the project yet, but I will definitely keep this option open in the future!
