The cost of building a workflow editor on React Flow

I find it disrespectful how you shape React Flow, an open-source library you managed to built something on top and charge people money for.

Quoting from your other website (linked from OT website): https://www.overflow.dev/

> React Flow examples show possible approaches, not production coverage. They omit edge cases, performance considerations, and maintenance paths. Overflow gives you the end result: hardened behavior, documented APIs and types, and components that are ready to ship.

So it's "us" vs. "they"? "They" actually build a very widely adopted open-source solution, why don't you contribute back if "they" omit so much?

Mind blowing how often LLM-written ads get to the front page of this site.
