It took slightly longer than expected for me to track down an explanation of their business model. I think it boils down to "run cheap until we have one". https://developers.revolt.chat/faq/monetisation


The future continues to be AGPL[0].

By making their backend AGPL they've left themselves a path to some kind of profitability for companies that want to run custom versions.

They're running Docusaurus for docs but adding manual timestamps instead of using the built-in showLastUpdateTime variable... this hurts me.


Dunno if this is the case here, but there are use cases for manual timestamps, for example when you want to differentiate between metadata updates / formatting changes and content updates/reviews.


Ah yeah, that's true, last commit to that file was actually on Apr 19th 2022.. https://github.com/revoltchat/documentation/commits/master/d... Too bad the metadata isn't surfaced somewhere so you could kinda discern "last substantial change" vs. "last actual time anyone made an edit of any sort to this file".
