🌐 Why Open Source
Transparent by design
AbhiHub was built by a student, for students. Making it open source means anyone can audit the code, suggest improvements, or adapt it for their own college community.
- No hidden data collection — read the code yourself
- Community-driven improvements and bug fixes
- Free to fork and deploy for your own institution
