to be freely accessible.

I want independent personal trainers, gyms and athletes to use it without restrictions, including coaches who earn their living training clients. What I don't want is another software company turning it into an expensive subscription service.

That makes licensing complicated, potentially requiring a source-available licence rather than a traditional open-source one.

And I appreciate that restricting commercial use could discourage some contributors, which is part of why I'm looking for advice.

There's also a more personal reason I'm considering this.

I'm completely new to Reddit, so apologies if this isn't quite the right place for this discussion!

Throughout my life, I've frequently chosen open-source software over proprietary alternatives. I've benefited enormously from the work of developers who've dedicated their time and expertise to creating incredible tools that anyone can use.

I've always had a tremendous amount of respect for that.

In many ways, I feel like this could finally be my opportunity to give something back to a community that's given me so much.

I'm under no illusion that I've built something perfect. I'm sure there are developers, designers and researchers far more knowledgeable than me in their respective fields who could take parts of what I've created and improve them considerably.

Honestly, that excites me.

Ultimately, my motivation is simple.

I believe independent coaches and athletes deserve better.

Personal trainers should be spending more time on gym floors, interacting with clients and actually coaching, rather than being held hostage by expensive platforms and unreliable cloud infrastructure.

And nobody should have to surrender their personal information just to track their workouts.

I'd be far prouder to see True Grit become a respected, freely accessible platform that genuinely helps people, and perhaps even influences how other fitness applications are developed, than to make money selling another fitness subscription.

Even if it never achieves that kind of recognition, knowing I've contributed something useful would mean a great deal to me.

So I'd genuinely appreciate some honest perspectives, particularly from developers, open-source maintainers and personal trainers.

Would you open a project like this to community development, keep it proprietary or take a different approach entirely?

And how would you handle licensing if allowing professional use and community contributions, while preventing commercial repackaging, was one of your fundamental goals?

It's an enormous vision, I know. But I genuinely believe the community deserves better.

And I'd love to help make that happen.
