Guggenheim - An algorithm for a perfectly balanced Gallery for Kirby

Hi Jimmy,
I had a look at this plugin and it looks great.
In fact for the last couple of years, I’ve been looking for an open-source, db-less, fast and modern self-hosted gallery engine. Until now, I’ve found absolutely nothing worth !

Would Guggenheim could be the solution for me ? Maybe…

But first I have a concern : Guggenheim’s code is not publicly available : why ?
I’m not against paying for quality, at all. When Bastian says "Building something is easy. Taking care for it over a long time is not. " I’m 150% with him. Therefore it’s blocking to me not being able to inspect & try the code, freely and publicly.

on How to license a Kirby plugin? I can read

Should the code be available for free for testing purposes? I really like that idea, because the only reason why I’m a convinced of Kirby now was the possibility to test it before buying it.

I’m 100% convinced of the above. This is what I like so much with Kirby : it is free to try it, but at the same time you are invited to take a license because… It is simply and indubitably a good software. And the consequent side effect is how good and solid you build the community.

It is why I would like to see any commercial Kirby plugin’s code absolutely open, taking the risk to contradict what Bastian has written on this thread : This model is the essence of Kirby !.

Otherwise, it don’t feel it really serve the project. To me it’s more like a curb, with the illusion it could protect against ā€œbadā€ people. 'Cause ā€œbadā€ people are smart enough :slight_smile:

Cheers,
