10/19 signals

Why this score

The licence is source-available. You can read the code, but it is not an OSI open-source licence. Captured 2026-10-15. Unmeasured signals add nothing and are not treated as failures.

Alive14/20
  • Last push. 8 points. GitHub pushed_at was 0 days before 2026-10-15.
  • Releases in 12 months. 6 points. The public releases feed shows at least 10 tagged releases in the last 12 months.
  • How fast issues close. Not measured. Median issue-close time is not in the seed snapshot, so this signal is omitted.
Trusted6/20
  • OpenSSF Scorecard. 4 points. OpenSSF Scorecard 5.7 out of 10.
  • Open critical or high vulnerabilities. Not measured. Open vulnerability counts were not fetched. We do not assume zero.
  • Contributors in 90 days. Not measured. 90-day contributor counts were not fetched.
  • Bus factor. Not measured. Contributor share was not fetched.
  • Stars. 2 points. 40,902 stars, log-scaled and capped at 20,000.
Takeoverable7.7/25
  • Licence. 2 points. Licence class source available.
  • Stack. 3.8 points. TypeScript. TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Go, PHP, and Vue score as widely hireable.
  • Tests and CI. 1.9 points. A CI workflow file was found. A test suite was not separately confirmed, so this signal scores half.
  • Docs quality. Not measured. Docs quality is an LLM rubric. v1 does not invent that score.
  • Data export. Not measured. Data-export was not audited app by app, so it is omitted.
Easy to run9/20
  • One-click deploy. Not measured. No one-click host was verified for this app, so the signal is omitted rather than scored as a failure.
  • Managed cloud or done-for-you. 5 points. SeatLess offers done-for-you setup. A vendor cloud, where listed, is the vendor’s own hosting, not a licence you own.
  • Docker Compose. 4 points. A Dockerfile or Compose file is in the repository.
  • Memory needs. Not measured. Memory needs were not measured.
  • Setup steps. Not measured. Setup-step rubric was not run.
Feature fit11.3/15
  • Coverage of the incumbent’s main jobs. 11.3 points. Editorial reading of public docs. Not a certified feature audit. Unknown jobs are left out of the average.

What it replaces

Outline is a clean wiki for a company handbook. The licence is Business Source License 1.1. You may not offer it as a “Document Service” for outside teams, and it converts to Apache-2.0 on 12 Oct 2030. Source-available, so Caution.

Feature coverage vs Notion

Editorial, from public descriptions. A dash means we did not assess that job. This is not a lab test, and Notion has not reviewed it.

Licence, in plain language

BUSL-1.1 Source-available

You can read the code, and you can often self-host it, but this is not an OSI open-source licence. Hosting it for other companies, or removing licence limits, may be forbidden. Read the file before you depend on it.

BUSL-1.1. Change date 2030-10-12, then Apache-2.0. Additional use grant blocks a competing document service.
