Asshole take: if you share your project online but not the source code I immediately think your code sucks.

Let's be real your clone project is not something a venture capitalist is going to invest in, there's literally no reason to hide it but shame. Shame of sinful and bad code.

This applies to any project, really. At my workplace, if someone refuses to let other teams look under the hood of a product, 95% of the time, it's because their code is absolute garbage, but their leaders didn't want to wait so they pushed it to prod and now it's up to some junior employee to fix all the shit that blows up in prod.

And just for closure, 5% of the time, it's because there actually is no product at all.

Well.... share it - then you might get help making it suck less.

I actually might, it's been sitting dormant for a long time so it couldn't hurt

One of the best devs I've ever had the pleasure to meet chatted with me about the worst code we've ever wrote. We even provided links to the specific repos and lines. Nothing to be ashamed of.
