Would you consider licensing Casebook? I'd love to build on it (with full credit) #1

Hi @thebuggeddev,

I hope you don't mind me reaching out. I found Casebook through a video, and it's the first "detective board" I've seen that actually feels like the wall from a movie — dragging a polaroid and watching the red string follow sold me instantly.

I want to be upfront about why I'm here: I'm building an AI agent as a personal project, and I keep coming back to the thought that Casebook would be the perfect way to visualize what the agent finds — entities, relationships, clues, all pinned to a board that actually feels alive instead of another boring node graph. It's purely personal for now, but if it turns out well, I might want to release it publicly someday, and I don't want to build on your work without your blessing.

I noticed the repo doesn't have a LICENSE file yet, which legally means all rights reserved — so I wanted to ask, rather than just take:

  1. Would you consider adding an open-source license (MIT or whatever you're comfortable with)? I imagine I'm not the only one who'd love to build on this.
  2. Or if you'd rather not open it up entirely, would you be willing to grant me permission for the use case above?

Either way, you'd be credited prominently — in the README, in the UI, wherever it makes sense (GitHub + @thebuggeddev on X). And if the answer is no, that's completely fine too — I'll study the ideas and build my own version from scratch, and I'll still be a fan of your work. Your call entirely.

Thanks for making something this cool and putting it out there. 🙌
