**Our Open-Source Odyssey**

Enatega's story began as a side project at Ninjas Code. We envisioned a local food delivery app alongside our development services. Initially, we aimed to compete with a local player, but our marketing expertise needed some seasoning.

We pivoted, deciding to empower others to launch their own delivery ventures. While third-party marketplaces brought initial success, the closure of one platform forced us to adapt again.

Open-sourcing our app repository emerged as the perfect solution. This approach has garnered significant traction without extensive marketing efforts. Our open-source model fosters collaboration, providing contributors with project visibility and valuable technical experience. We believe in giving back and strengthening the developer community.

To ensure financial sustainability, we offer a back-end license with an open API. While the source code remains proprietary, licensed users gain access to a robust solution. This approach caters to businesses that might require customizations for their specific use cases.
