Slide has recently made a significant move by open-sourcing a collection of code on their GitHub account, aligning themselves with other innovative companies such as Digg, Yahoo, and Facebook, which have previously embraced open-source practices. This initiative opens up opportunities for collaboration and transparency within the tech community, as it allows developers and organizations to access, modify, and contribute to Slide's codebase. The announcement was made by PJ Hyett, highlighting the growing trend of companies adopting open-source models to foster innovation and community engagement.
