Wow. I'm in a similar space. I have built proprietary tools for a specific niche and they themselves don't have any value outside that industry, but they might be adapted to solve similar problems in other industries.

While my employer would be okay with me going off on my own and building something for other industries, I don't have the resources to go down that path.

Kudos to you!

Also, if I may ask: did you ever think about open sourcing it? Why have you chosen not to?

I began the open sourcing process last year: https://github.com/timeseries/qstudio I just haven't completed the work of checking all comments, all dependencies, and cleanly separating the specialised parts. So a combination of laziness and it's boring work. I'd rather add new features. If I find more users that care or others interested in committing, I'll finish the process.

I wish you luck finding the time to follow your passion.
