On the eve of it’s 5th anniversary, I’ve decided to open source the code for the kinopio-client app. That means you can run Kinopio on your own computer, make changes, and share improvements.

Kinopio, a browser-based application, on its 5th anniversary, has been open-sourced. This means users can now download, modify, and run the code on their own computers. The app, built with node.js, has a straightforward installation process. The decision to open source aims to increase appreciation for the work behind Kinopio and possibly invite community contributions, although it also comes with risks such as potential cloning and the stress of managing code contributions.
