Congratulations mate. I wish I had your talent.
I have a (possibly ignorant) question: is there a reason you didn’t choose GPLv3 as the licence of choice for your projects?
I know license is perhaps the last thing in your ming, just curious.

Actually that was a conscious choice! I initially went for MIT on them as they were small little apps I used withing my house with my wife, but as they grew I decided I wanted to truly protect the open source nature of them
Reading a bit into licensing I learned that with gplv3 projects can be copied/taken without credits/do anything people want with it, just like MIT, however they MUST stay open source.
Which means no greedy corporation can steal my code, improve upon it, close source it and pay wall features :) they can still do all that, but code must always be open source haha
