I'm sure this is an amazing project. But the readme and FAQ and such have such an aggressive, almost hostile tone---if you want to communicate with the author at all, even to report a bug, it'll be five thousand bucks a month...

That's not quite true - the other option is to provide a pull request with a test case showing the bug.

Nifty! I look forward to (hopefully/eventually) someone making Go bindings for this :)

With that said, it would be nice if the sample apps included more components of the native UI. Eg, a bunch of buttons, text editors, etc - a sort of kitchen sink screenshot. Just to understand what it looks like on each OS. All the samples I saw so far seemed very limited, visually.

What are you talking about?

The author literally says: "for help please go to the yue/help repo where users help themselves.

To report a bug, you have to create a pull request with a test case of your problem, or you can choose to subscribe to paid plans."

What's exactly hostile there?

The author gave you, the potential user, a gift, totally free of charge, and even explained politely where and how to find help. They even organized a premium support, if someone's problem is so important that it needs extra care.

I'm still puzzled...

Kudos for this. It does look awesome. Just tried out JS version.

Nevertheless I'm still afraid that features / maintenance will be unsustainable, since you are the only developer [1] ( considering your expertise ).

I hope there are companies that support the project.

I don't get that either. Also look at https://github.com/yue/help . The author is basically saying "I'm a really cool developer, was there, did that, anything else?". Every single sentence consists of narcissism (or how should I call that?). This is only how I see that, I'm sorry if I offended somebody.

The author is not a native speaker so might not be aware of how some sentences come across.

5k per month for license O.o https://github.com/yue/yue/tree/master/docs/paid_plans

OTOH, the license is optional. You can use it for $0.

I'm not even a potential user of this library. I'm just amused with how people expect open source programmers to work for peanuts.
