> its not bait and switch, its main has features we are willing to continue to support given we did a whole rewrite and this is what we think you should use. Don't like it? Fork it, code is still there. I hope your version is better!

It sounds like your are the dev of Datastar...

Let me give one piece of advice. Drop the attitude because this is not how you interact in public as the developers of a paid piece of software.

You can get away with a lot when its free/hobby project, but the moment you request payment, there is a requirement for more professionalism. These reactions that i am reading, will trigger responses that will hurt your future paycheck. Your already off on a bad start with this "bait and switch", do not make it worse.

I really question your future client interactions, if they criticize your product(s) or practices.

> I hope your version is better!

No need for Datastar, my HTMX "alternative" has been in production (with different rewrites) over 20 years. So thank you for offering, but no need.



>Drop the attitude

I have to be honest, I dont see what's wrong with it.

They were accused of bait and switch, which is not even half true. Old Pro code is still available under MIT. Newer version charges more. That is it.
