So not sure what controversy you're trying to stir. Fannypack didn't have dark mode, Accordions, Alerts, Breadcrumbs, responsive containers, and a whole slew of components that Chakra had.
In fact if you look at the Avatar component from Chakra 5 yrs ago vs the Fannypack Avatar you'll see the code is completely different.

The most likely story is he was just using Fannypack's docs as a reference for how to format his own.
- meagher 3y agoNot trying to stir anything. Just posting receipts. The creators of Chakra have a well-documented history of jacking people's stuff without crediting them.

- throwitaway1123 3y agoThis is definitely a bad look for the Chakra team, but at most it proves that they need to hire a copywriter. I'm not sure I would extrapolate from this that they're stealing code.
