Ask HN: When working with a potential cofounder, when do you share code?

earlier this year i built an app[1] and an ex coworker hit me up about trying to raise money on it or the idea. i was cool with working on it if we raised money but he's been pressuring me to give him access to the repo so he can make changes. when asked about what changes he'd make there's no response. he's also not really an engineer, so i'm kinda hesitant to just add him. i currently have a pretty detailed Linear board w/issues so i feel like if he wanted to suggest stuff he could add them there.

basically, i'm just trying to figure out if i'm the one being toxic or what. i have concerns about how we'd earn revenue and some other things so for all i know it's a fool's errand anyway.

you can see the embedded version here in a music forum[2] or scope out the app in general if you'd like to offer feedback, but that's probably not needed.

i would def appreciate any feedback or advice! thanks
