Only an anecdote, but I was working on a side project with another dev who wanted to use Tailwind Plus components. It wasn't immediately obvious whether this was allowed under his personal license or if we'd have to get a team license instead, though.

We decided to go with a FOSS component library instead to avoid any potential issues down the road. After re-reading the license page now, I'm still not sure.

As someone not currently using Cloudflare Workers, I'm not sure I want to build a worker and figure out how to interface with it though my existing application just to send email. What happened to SMTP?

Was just about to do a demo, but Google Meet was down. Tried to use Jitsi as a fallback, but couldn't log in because Firebase was down too. Ended up using a Slack Huddle, lol.

It's more than just a few - even more basic things like rate limiting or concurrency controls are gated behind Pro. It works extremely well, but I've been reluctant to use it in open source projects because there's quite a bit in there I'd need to rebuild.

I've been using Ash for a few side projects and recently started using it at the day job too. We're mostly using it for new functionality, with the Ash APIs alongside our existing ones, but planning on slowly moving older things over too. It's been working well so far, and it's been easy enough to use the escape hatches for anything weird we're doing.

Getting started was a bit tricky though - definitely recommend the Ash book there. It works a lot better than the documentation as an introduction.

I never really looked into it, but I thought Bitwarden was completely free software based on their marketing. Looks like it's had some weird proprietary bits introduced around 2020, though?

Just ran into this while trying to do some patching:

Bit frustrating, wasn't expecting to have to rework my scripts right now.

This is one of my favorite features. Wasn't able to figure out how to set up my somewhat complicated guest + iot wifi vlan setup through the web interface, but it was pretty straightforward through the config files. And now I have it backed up in case I ever need to set it up again from scratch.

If a company gets rid of my free forever plan with them, there is a 0% chance that they're getting any money or positive word of mouth from me in the future. It's incredibly scummy behavior.

If you're not willing to actually offer it forever, just call it a free plan instead of lying about it.
