We'd like to ensure that Replicache continues to exist and that we can continue to support it. So yeah, we proudly charge for it.

- wahnfrieden 4y agoIt’s just a fact to consider in tradeoffs. There are several economic models that support tool businesses, or returns for investors. Please don’t take offense at noting which of those several valid approaches
- aboodman 4y agoNot offended. Our team has a long history in open source and have seen both the triumphs and challenges over the years. It's very difficult to build a sustainable client-side open source tool without some other business off to the side that supports it (example: nextjs/vercel). I like the simplicity and clarity of just directly charging for the valuable thing. Nothing wrong with the other models, they just aren't for us.
