How does Textualize make money?
I played with Textual and Rich over the weekend. I found it super compelling to use TUI forms to generate json or other kinds of configs. I particularly like the faux CSS for styling and modeling UI updates as reactive components.
Before I invest further with it, I'm curious where this is all headed and if there will continue to be sustainable development in the future.
- willm 4y agoWe were funded with Venture Capital. Which means full-time developers for the foreseeable future. But its worth pointing out that both projects existed for a long time before funding.
- thejosh 4y agoAnd how do they see themselves getting money back? Is there a plan for paid subscriptions or something in the future? Not trying to be snarky or anything -- generally curious! I love the project.
- willm 4y agoAt some point next year, we will be working on a web service that puts Textual apps online. Completely opt-in, but it will allow you to serve Textual apps on the fly. There are various add-on services, like authentication, we can charge for. Plus a generous free tier.
- pipo234 4y agoI think ultimately, the idea is some sort of freemium model where the TUI is free, but usage as a web UI is will cost extra(?)
- willm 4y agoKind of, yeah. But there will also be a generous free tier.
