The open source Mailchimp alternative. Contribute to bespoke-surf/bespoke development by creating an account on GitHub.
Heyo! I’m Afi, I have been working on Bespoke for the past 8 months. I have a good feeling about Bespoke and I think it can only reach it’s true potential if it’s only open source. My thoughts are below.
Bespok’s ultimate goals are as follows: -To engage in personalized marketing -To be trusted, because we do personlization
When we mention personalization, it involves gathering extensive user data, such as their behavior, purchase history, and browsing preferences. We understand that handling such sensitive information might lead to concerns about intrusion into users’ privacy.
To establish trust in our system and demonstrate our transparent data collection practices, we have no choice but to open-source our software. By adopting an open-source approach, we can gain a competitive advantage in terms of trustworthiness and reliability.
Another crucial aspect of our long-term goal is to become a platform that facilitates data collection for any software operating on the internet. We aim to challenge the narratives surrounding companies like Facebook, TikTok, Google, etc., which have been criticized for exploiting user data to benefit advertisers. We believe that our approach can bring about a positive change, providing advertisers with an alternative platform where everything is conducted openly, instilling greater trust in the system among users.
I think the path forward towards the stated goals above is to start with a Mailchimp alternative. And eventually become the open source personlization marketing platform.
Hope you guys self host it today or sign up to check it out!
Sorry I wasn’t trying to be a dick, I re-read my comment and realize I kind of was haha. Honestly I think for your use case, AGPL makes the most sense. You get the openness you’re looking for while also protecting your business more than MIT by preventing other companies from taking your code and hosting their own version without every contributing back their modifications.

Yes, you can patch it out and do whatever you want. We encourage you to do that. Thus the MIT licence.
If we had it using AGPL, you need to get permission from us etc… this is not a good thing. Dont ask permission, just do it in good conscience.
Ohh, I just made everthing MIT! just posted it as a seperate post!
Talking to partners, they suggested AGPL so went with that now. lol i just want to create software.
