Not that locked in - you can just move your vectors to another platform, no?

Vectroid co-founder here. We're huge fans of open source. My co-founder, Talip, made Hazelcast, which is open source.

It might make sense to open source all or part of Vectroid at some point in the future, but at the moment, we feel that would slow us down.

I hate vendor lock-in just as much as the next person. I believe data portability is the ACTUAL counter to vendor lock-in. If we have clean APIs to get your data in, get your data out, and the ability to bulk export your data (which we need to implement soon!), then there's less of a concern, in my opinion.

I also totally understand and respect that some people only want open source software. I'm certainly like that w/ my homelab setup! Except for Plex... Love Plex... Usually.
