Great start! Thanks for using Holo UI :D
Can't wait for user login, etc.

Does your team have any plans on making this open source?

Thanks!  Currently "team" = just me.  Don't currently have any plans to make it open source.  Do you ask due to security considerations?

Yeah, mostly due to security concerns.

understandable.  I am still trying to figure out the revenue model and how open-source would fit into it.  Maybe charge for the source?  As in whatever revenue model i use ( app, iap, paid ) giving away the source negates any of them.

If you do indeed decide to make this open source.
I'm sure you'll get some hefty donations and it'll also help with patching security bugs.
