Hey OP, you’ve got a great project going! But have you considered that you might be violating TailwindUI’s license? I’m not sure either but bringing it your attention, just in case you might be. The License that TailwindUI provides (https://tailwindui.com/license https://tailwindui.com/license) states: Examples of usage not allowed by the license: - Creating a "website builder" project where end users can build their own websites using components or templates included with or derived from Tailwind UI. A way to circumvent this would be to create a branding and a design system for Postcard that looks distinct [as much as possible from TailwindUI components] and adhere to that design system for everything. Just use TailwindUI for the primitive blocks, not the design.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Seems as though users just provide the content, rather than being allowed to actually 'build' a site from TailwindUI components.

  The way I understand it, Postcard.page is letting users publish a personal website. One of the premium features is the custom domain which lets users have a website. Hence, the product is generating money on the premise of building a website for you that’s a completely new entity which makes me think this does in fact qualify as a website builder.

    You might be right. I think it's difficult to determine. From the licence: You can: [snip] - Use the Components and Templates to create unlimited End Products for unlimited Clients. - Use the Components and Templates to create End Products where the End Product is sold to End Users. Personally I think this would be OK, but I'm not a lawyer, and probably worth getting one to review this.

My read of the terms is that I'm inline with the TailwindUI license. If you look at the pages generated by Postcard, they are a far more custom implementation. I rely on Tailwind UI more for the marketing site and the application. To be safe, I just emailed Tailwind Labs and Adam directly. If they think there are any issues, I'll absolutely address them.

  That’s great. Hope you are in the clear!
