#32It'd be really helpful if there were screenshots of a sample app from each supported platform. Is this wrapping native elements or providing custom elements?

Is there any open source project where the author retains copyright?
I mean in this case I'd say the copyright is transferred to a nameless entity, e.g. "the Yue project". IIRC any project with a developer agreement (like Google's) include a transferrence of copyright note.

#345k per month for license O.o https://github.com/yue/yue/tree/master/docs/paid_plans
For comparison, if you choose not to go for the free, public distribution of SQLite, the commercial license and warranty for it is $6000.

#36With a quick glance, I learnt about the intrincate details of the license. However, I have no idea of the technical details behind the library or how the relevant code may look like (note that I can go to the sample sources, but without a proper introduction it takes some work to follow).
I'd suggest putting more emphasis in the library details, and why it is good (not just how good it is) especially before all that licensing information.

E.g., Linux and GNOME

#38I'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...

#39Right, So I am doing a research project and If I want to use this library in that project, does that mean I have to pay to use it. My project is currently closed source , because don't want anyone to steal stuff before I publish my paper. After that the code goes public.

#40Earlier quoted context omitted.
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.
To me it seemed like he was showing that he was capable of doing a fine job with Yue in which you can trust.
I totally get that, maybe it's just a question of subjective perception. What he's done is still a large piece of job.
