What do you think of Tembo?

Tembo, my project for GFTW, is an open-source application that lets you build monetized web database applications quickly and easily. It's implemented as a WordPress plug-in and it creates applications which are also WordPress plug-ins, making them very easy to share, install and update.

I've just posted a "functional description" of Tembo on the project's GitHub repository:

I would love the community's feedback on this document! We're already in the coding phase so any quick comments, large and small, are very welcome. (In-depth comments are even more welcome, but that's a lot to ask.)

This is my first time initiating an open-source development project, so if you have any experience with open source development I'm especially grateful for your thoughts.

My GFTW grant involves a new open source project. Now the confession - I've never launched my own open source software project before. In fact I've never even contributed to an existing open source project.

To start my learning process, I attended open-source-related sessions at recent conferences: All Things Open, WordCamp, and Aspiration Tech's Dev Summit. Then I read the online book Producing Open Source Software (https://producingoss.com/en/), which I found very good.

Please give a shout-out in this thread if your GFTW project is open source, or if you're willing to share some wisdom with those of us are. Thanks!
