This guy has an amazing YouTube channel and just released a really cool book. I'm doing a book club going through it right now and it's really cool!

Oh snap it's Forest! I wonder what he's up to these days. He used to be a dev at Uber Entertainment and did some cool community engagement.

I made this to handle graceful shutdown of a net/http.Server and other similar components.
I found myself implementing the same pattern over and over again, hope people can benefit from this simple small library.

I would love to make the source available. But there's no getting that genie back in the bottle once you go that route. I wanted to release it and get some feedback before deciding what to do with it. That said, a server that supports the examples on this page is pretty trivial to implement (especially if you skip the pubsub stuff). I had a working prototype in a weekend. Multiple implementations would probably be a good thing.
EDIT: also, the current state of the code base is not something I'd be excited about having my name attached to ;)
Ah yea I totally understand.
I love this thing though. So simple but powerful.

I like this. Have you considered releasing the source so people can run it on their own servers?

This is so cool! I've just been sitting here listening for a while now.
If you want free stuff, is your strategy to smear them into giving you more free stuff?
Storage, compute, and traffic, isn't free. You've been the beneficiary of charity for years.
Yes, the open source community has relied on this implicit charity as a parasite, by exploiting whatever free services they could. And now we're paying the price, as you say, by having DockerHub as the default provider.
My suggestion is therefore that we need independent solutions, that are fully funded as a charity, and stop relying on freemium services from corporations that fundamentally don't care about the public good.
