That's great news! Seriously, kudos to you for taking such feedback so constructively. I do really think this could be a great path for you. Particularly once the core product is giong, you could look into add SSO, RBAC, and other enterprise-y management features and have a legit open product that makes money selling managed/hosted services to corps. This is niche enough yet common enough that I could see it being very attractive to people building higher level products!
Let me know if I can be of help. I've got quite a bit of devops/infra experience especially containers and kubernetes, as well as mostly backend dev (though enough frontend to be considered "full stack" by many, but IMHO I'm not great at frontend). Very happy to help consult!
