Why did you decide to open-source it? How will you make money?

edit: why downvotes?

Besides being huge fans of OSS software we really feel like packages like this only make sense in an Open Source environment. Licensing for developer tooling can't be restrictive or it's just a hassle to use. There great open source business models around support, service, and hosting.

hey ceo & co-founder here!

First of all we love open-source, we saw a huge opportunity to bring a modern design and some new features to swagger-ui & redocly.

Great question how we make money! We currently have: - a premium plan for hosting with a custom domain and guides

Our longer term plan is to build a dedicated REST API Client that is deeply integrated with all of our produts.
