  "reverse-engineering their components out of curiosity" - Fantastic
  sharing your learnings with the community - Fantastic
  Attempting to make subscription money off the clones - Not so fantastic
Sorry... something about that last bit just really hit me wrong. Like when people make a paid Minecraft Tips "App" that's just content scraped from the web.

Yep, totally fair point and I get the skepticism. Just to be clear, some components are inspired, and some are also patterns and ideas I created myself along the way. There's a lot of work behind the scenes: recreating animations, building variants, styling, packaging for NPM etc. (the code is written using MUI, so it's all original). I'm trying to bring that level of polish to a wider set of devs who may not have the time to build it all from scratch, and I'm giving credits to the original inspirations where due.

Appreciate the feedback though; it's a valid concern.

why, what's wrong with it?

on the minecraft tips app, you are paying money for something that saves you time.

on this one, you are paying for the same thing here, unless you wanna reimplement it by your own.

and there are lots of avenues to have an edge, such as support for other framework / libraries, better / more efficient implementation, more configurability / control on possible variants.

please don't shoot down people on their attempts to make a living on their efforts.

Exactly. Some people feel entitled to get everything for free. It's obvious a lot of effort went into building these. If someone does not see the value, no one forces him to pay.

Light joke/jab - if it was trivial to scrape and steal components from websites and resell them, surely someone will make a free reversereverseui component library

Jokes aside, I do think the OP does deserve credit for at least putting in the effort to reimplement ideas on the web even if the design ideas aren't theirs.

Haha, I'd honestly love to see a ReverseReverseUI. Appreciate the thoughtful words
