Awesome project btw, thank you.

Just wondering which open-source license is, or would, your code base be under? You do not specify a LICENSE file at the root of your project.

May we assume that your source code not being private suggests that it may be used, freely, elsewhere?

If so, might I suggest you choose a license from the list found here?

You could simply copy and paste a suitable license from https://choosealicense.com/licenses/mit.

Also, there are several tools that can aid you in evaluating the current licensing of the libraries and dependencies that are being used within your project, for compliance. Here are a few examples of such software (no particular order):

Ok, I feel a 'little' silly, I've been going through your code base and now realise you have indeed specified licensing within the various package.json files, you just haven't provided explicit/externalised LICENSE files (that's what I was looking for and what I believe Github will read from for license reference on your dashboard).

If you do feel like creating explicit license files, that would be great, else I think my query has been answered 🙏🏾
