Thanks for the feedback. I'm Josh's co-founder Ravi.

There are several open source React libraries out there for tables, chart components, etc that I'd encourage checking out. But the key other thing that Airplane gives you, above and beyond a component library, is a deep integration with Airplane tasks (Lambda-like functions) that Josh mentioned above. So you can create a Table component where the data is populated by the results of running one of these functions, or a Button that triggers execution of these, etc. It would be hard to provide an OSS version of tasks since a big part of the value is the hosting/execution/etc, and Views primarily makes sense as integrated with that.

At a high level, the purpose of all of this is to save developer time. An admin panel that takes days or weeks to create ideally can be built in hours using Airplane. Using a high-quality component library can speed up that process, but the additional primitives that Airplane provides out of the box ideally should speed it up significantly more.

From a pricing perspective our Free tier is pretty generous and there are several startups using Airplane for free.

Appreciate you taking a look and sharing your thoughts!

Thanks, I will consider checking out the free tier and giving it a try!
