   How do you license them? I've never seen a "Buy now" link, only the text about "Free for personal use" every time.

    Thank you for engaging here! With respect, the title is wrong as that's not a graph database. "How Streak built a graph on Cloud Spanner" would be more accurate (and even then, it needs the follow-up post with some actual det

    Are UI translations possible? If so, and someone can replace "Rebase" in the translation with another word, it's possible. Bonus if the other strings contain placeholders e.g. "Interactive #{rebase|ucfirst}" to redu
