Open source
Open source, coming soon
320px will be open source under the Apache-2.0 licence. Anyone will be able to read the code, run it on their own servers, change it and share it. The repository isn’t public yet.
The licence
The Apache License 2.0 lets you use, change and share the code, also commercially, as long as you follow its conditions, such as keeping the copyright notices, the licence and the NOTICE file, and marking files you change. It’s the same licence Apache Wave used.
Built from Apache Wave
320px is a modern Rust port of Apache Wave, which was retired from the Apache Incubator in 2018. It carries Apache Wave’s design (conversations, threaded replies, history and playback) into Rust. We study the Apache Wave code as we build, so we treat 320px as derived from it.
So the repository will include a NOTICE file that credits Apache Wave and its contributors, as the Apache License asks. The page about Google Wave tells the story.
Host it yourself
- Anyone will be able to run 320px on their own servers, for free, without a plan from us.
- It will need PostgreSQL. Search by meaning and AI features will be optional, and turn on when you configure a provider.
- 320px.com will run the same open-source code, plus private parts for billing and for running the hosted service. Its paid plans aren’t on sale yet. The pricing page has the plans.
Contributing
We’ll explain how to report problems and contribute once the repository is public.
Repository coming soon
Join the waitlist and we’ll email you when the repository is public. We’ll ask you to confirm your address first.
