Tailwind was far ahead of its time in having an OSS business model overall friendly to users while still being able to fund development (Note: OSS projects like Minio, ScyllaDB and CockroachDB do a far more insidious "open core only", or "crazy licensing fees after x processes/users" , etc). It was great to see OSS succeed financially without ads or punishing users.
"Information should be free", sure, but lets not kid ourselves, these massive new AI companies are making themselves new gatekeepers with new artificial moats for themselves. Information is not federated / distributed anymore.
We need "GPL for AI" that restricts AI scrapers from performing content theft/repackaging.
What? That's not what this does at all. Educate yourself. It has nothing to do with the commercial side of his business, it's just the already public docs in cleaned up pure text form.
The “community” doesn’t decide what goes into the project, TailwindLabs does. Tailwind is not a community developed project. It’s a project that sometimes accepts outside contributors when they feel like it and the are under no obligation to do so. You did work that nobody from the project asked for and you’re throwing a fit because they have different priorities and said they don’t want it. They don’t owe you anything.
It seems you have fundamental misunderstanding of how open source works and now you’re throwing a fit because you’re an entitled brat.
Right now I've started off with full replication of every database in cluster. On my roadmap I have:
- Ability to launch a replica on selected databases from main cluster.
- Ability for replica to only download and replicate changes of select databases (right now all or nothing).
- Ability for replica to proxy DML & DDL into write cluster transparently.
- Custom set of commands for replicas to download and attach/detach databases on the fly.
This will instantly solve 80% of the problems for most of consumption today. I will probably go after on demand page stream and other stuff once core features are done.
Not to mention this solves majority use-cases of lambdas. One can have a persistent main cluster, and then lambda's coming up or going down on demand transparently.
