Just because something is open source doesn't make rug pulling "impossible"; see: insomnia and license-change rug pulls across various OSS communities.

> there's no pricing page because the tool is free and open source.

Okay, then why is there a "Product" item at the top and a "real talk" (testimonials) page that has "featured" posts? It seems like the creators had something else in mind when creating this tool and it wasn't an altruistic open source tool.

one of the creators here - you are right in the sense that most tools start open source and then they close source. For us it was different/ the opposite. We first made it as a product and then we open sourced it. It was never our intention to make it a SaaS though nor charge for it.
