While not trying to take away anything from the efforts of OP, I wish this was open source as the original framework is. I usually save the “kitchen sink” page for snippets with bootstrap and use those to build the equivalent UI’s. The messaging around this is all mixed. One time purchase but then says subscription. I won’t be using this as I’m not the intended audience I feel. It’s easy for me to just build a form or layout with bootstrap or ui-kit or name-your-css-framework with their included examples. Sometimes I’ve even bought a complete theme package off of sites like themeforest for the same price. Kudos to them though for trying to make it more accessible to new devs if that was their intent.

@gabereiser thank you for your kind words :) Our plan is fully one time purchase not subscription it's a mistake & we will remove it :)

Thank you

[gabereiser]

Keep going. Add more. Be the go to library of stuffs for devs looking to quickly build UI. I wish you the best.

I believe it's a problem people believe all open source has to be free. And this includes businesses who think open-sourcing something necessarily means giving it away. In fact it is totally OK to ship an entirely commercial (one-time purchase or subscription) product together with its source code but license it the way people won't be legally allowed to distribute forks nor use it without paying. For users this is still better than no-source because good source code is of great value as a form of documentation at least.

That sort of arrangement is generally referred to as "source available" rather than "open source". The ability to fork and redistribute I think is typically considered a core aspect of open source.

And this product is presumably already source available since it consists of source code for you to integrate into your own projects.

I totally agree with you. My comment on it being “open source” was meant as more of an open code model with donations and contributions kinda thing. I can take bootstrap, or ui-kit, or whatever and build what I want with it. I can donate back. Source via paywall isn’t that helpful in this case as any “component” is easily created and styled by someone who has skills in html/css/js. As I mentioned, I sometimes will buy entire themes from sites that give me not only style but common components I can just implement. I’m not adverse to this, but to simply take away the theme and just provide components, to me, isn’t worth the paywall.
