Open sourcing a website doesn't always have the same effect/impact as open sourcing a library or platform. That being said, if your goal is to build a community around it and attract meaningful contributions, then open source is the way to go. If not, I'd advise at least waiting until you have something tangible and production before making the decision.

Maybe take a cue from the dev.to team, who waited awhile before open sourcing it.
