It's unfortunate that the author has chosen to wait with giving access to the source code, insisting that it still needs to be "cleaned up".
I can understand the reasons (in most cases it seems to be vanity), but it would often be best to just give access and clearly mark it 'work in progress'. Open source miracles may happen.
The problem is most people just criticise/tear-down instead of actually improving open-source projects (just read the Show HN section here...). Building open source projects requires a positive attitude and early stage comments can be discouraging.
