Very cool idea, I'm going to test this!

One nit: Forgive me if I'm missing something but why do you have pro components? Won't people vibe-code clones anyway? I'd rather have a donate button these days.

Hey! Author of Proa here, thanks for checking it out! The idea is to just accelerate the time it takes to create components, similar to Shadcn or other component libraries. You can create a new component and modify them however you like. It’s nice because they have both the WebRender and MdRender trait implemented, and saves you a bit of time. Also for slightly more complex components like Calendar, we’ve crafted the component with all the JS interactivity required to do things like switch months, select start and end date, etc

You answered "Why do you have a component library?" but I think the original question was more along the lines of "Why bother monetizing components that can be copyright-washed in minutes with LLMs instead of having a Donations funnel?"

		In any corporate structure it's 10000x easier to get approved to just buy something from a vendor than it is to set up donations for an open-source project/foundation. PLus you're missing the licensing aspect, part of this is AGPL if you use the free version, lots of places are happy to throw down money to get a commercial license rather than hem and haw over AGPL.

		Aren't Pro components the same as a donation, but then giving you something extra as well.
