While there are plenty of open-source projects, really few websites have made the move. I would guess the main reasons are security (easier to find a breach) and website stability (keeping a good UX could be difficult with tons of contribution).

I hope to see more and more websites taking this path in the future.

Could you share with us the key to make an open-source website project successful, and how is it different from a normal open-source project?

Have you experienced things like bug-bounty or "feature-bounty"?

Do you think this would be possible if your community wasn't a developers community? Let say that instead of dev.to you started by building community.nba.com. What would have been different?
