HTMX doesnt do half of what datastar does. And datastar's free version does 99% of what the pro version does

And react should be paying people to take on its immense performance and maintenance burden

React is literally maintained by a consortium of the world's biggest companies and before this Facebook/Meta. This is a ridiculous thing to say.

Going to vouch for this. Why does it matter what other people do? This is such a non issue, you are free to fork it and do your own work. I actually believe more open source repos should tastefully have paid tiers to help pay for the continued work.
