Ask HN: Have you ever regretted open-sourcing something?
Open source is usually seen as a win - for learning, visibility, and the community. But have you ever regretted it?

Maybe it became a burden to maintain, attracted the wrong users, or got used in ways you didn’t expect.

Would love to hear your experience - good or bad.
