Existing sales are not, but I'm thinking about accelerating future sales of IPS Cloud which I believe would be greatly accelerated with an open-source self-hosted version of v4 or v5, especially if you could get the price of entry-level IPS Cloud to under $20/month. A free tier of the open-source version with limited features could make conversion to paying user accelerate. Anyway, this is my last comment on this... I just wanted to get you to consider open source as an option to scale your business. You need all the help you can get from third-party developers to accelerate adoption of IPS Cloud, IMHO.

You wouldn't need VC funding as you already have IPS Cloud business generating capital to invest in software development. Anyway, this is OT now, but it occurred to me that not having an open source version of your product is hindering your ability to grow to a large player in this industry. And, I fear that you are about to lose even more third-party developers with your transition to v5 resulting in IC being a very niche product. Third-party developers are key to almost all successful growing internet companies.

Well then, please consider open sourcing v5. Many many of the most successful companies in our industry have an open source version of their products. Rather than shrinking revenue and profits, open source greatly accelerates sales and reduces future development and maintenance expenses as you can leverage the open source community and get millions of users and hundreds of thousands of paying customers. Also, it could lead to IPS Cloud being more reasonably priced, generating more sales and revenue.

@Matt Please consider open sourcing v4 when you release v5.

Wait a few weeks and all browsers on iOS will have “Add to Home Screen” in their Share menus. Edge already supports installing PWAs. Apple added an API for this with the latest iOS update.

How long does the PWA keep me signed in? Also, can you support sign in by Face/Touch Id? And, will Badge show on the HomeScreen icon to indicate the number of unread notifications or even just unread PMs?
