What you give up either way

  • Brand, existing user base and community momentum
  • Polish of mobile apps (iOS/Android) unless separately built
  • Any proprietary content curation or editorial work already accumulated
  • Built-in supporters/donation plumbing and site-specific badges/pages

An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches Learn Farsi, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
