Recently an open source contributor found a CVE in IPC code we'd just written. Good. That's the system working: extra eyes, problems surfaced and fixed in public, customers protected. This is why we fund upstream. 🧵

A customer told us: "been using it since 2014, it's one of the first things I install after the OS. Reckon you deserved some cash." Eleven years in and still upgrading. 🙏

In 2025 we paid $7,450 to open source maintainers and foundations, and joined the Open Source Pledge. Our in-house team also spent ~600 hours (about 30% of dev time) on Deskflow and the libraries we depend on. 🧵

Honest one from us: right now only one person on our team is committing to Deskflow upstream. One person is not enough long term.
In 2026 we are working to make budget available for a new developer focused on Deskflow and Synergy 1.

The very first version of Synergy was committed to the code repository on 13 May 2001 by Chris Schoeneman (crs23).

Fun fact: Chris originally hard coded Synergy to work with his main computer (audrey2) and his client (remote1), so you had to manually edit and recompile the source code to change the names. Only Linux was supported at this point (Windows and Mac came later on).

"Don't ghost me bro."
Daniel Thompson-Yvetot (Tauri co-founder) at FOSDEM 2025, on why maintainers need to stay in daily contact with their community instead of vanishing between releases.
That line stuck with us. Here's what we did about it 👇
