Comment on Ask HN: What to do with my security product?

Comments

Perhaps you could open source it?

This would accomplish a few things - since it's a "feature" and not a "product", this would make it easier for other developers to integrate into their products.

Secondly, it would let you build your reputation in this area, which may lead to more interesting opportunities and goodwill.

Third - security products are notoriously difficult to get right, and letting developers view and comment on the source will inevitably make it better.

Yeah, I would definitely open source it and leave it idling for a while instead of just killing it outright. I'm just hoping it doesn't come to this
