Highlight, a company co-founded by Jay Khatri, is embracing open-source principles by sharing its internal processes, values, onboarding methods, competitor analysis, and future roadmap with the public as part of its launch week initiatives. The company believes that open sourcing extends beyond merely sharing a GitHub repository and offers unexpected benefits, such as fostering transparency and encouraging feedback. Highlight has collaboratively formulated a set of company values, made its onboarding processes for new team members publicly accessible, and started documenting its competitive landscape to provide clarity and leverage against other monitoring vendors. Additionally, Highlight's decision to open source its development roadmap aims to engage customers directly, inviting them to offer feedback and express interest, thus aligning product development with user needs and expectations.
