When I see things like this, now my immediate question is always: what's the underlying model? Is this like a generally open and free thing, with maybe a little bit of monetization to keep the lights on? Then that's great.

But, if this is looking to be a big moneymaker? eh, nah.

Absolutely right!

Everyone launching a beta version of their product says its free. You invest time learning and migrating things over and by the time they catch up on features, pricing page shows up.

I have been using https://www.erdlab.io for 6 months now and so far it looks like they are true to their word. The developers on ERDLab have fulltime jobs and treat it as a side project but still push out updates and handle maintenance in a timely manner. I want them to succeed but not so much where they start to think about making money lol

OP Here. I can understand. I would be skeptical too

I have been using this tool just for myself for the last few months. The project is intentionally built for longevity (striving to keep the project for decades, if there are serious users). The costs to run are negligible, and I haven't thought much about monetizing. At this point, evaluating if there is enough interest in the tool
