So it runs everything locally/in web worker, but there's a monthly quota and it requires a paid plan of $9.99 monthly to keep running it on my own machine?

I have considered adding support for remote version manage and AI features in the future, but I'm not sure if it's a genuine need or just something I've dreamed up. You could give me some input :)

What I’m hungry for is not so much this coherent application for exploring json data but rather a set of React components to integrate explorations like this into a web app. Does anybody know of any good components or libraries for that?

Seconding this. I am also looking for an out-of-the-box component as such. The standard react-json-view is too limited.

The other opensource json visualizer I found operates on the similar model as OP's project, but it also doesn't provide a standalone component.

Yes, but you can also deploy it locally, so you can use it for free. May I ask, do you think that programs running locally are not worth paying for if it is open source?

I think they are understandably confused by your pricing page. Do you have to pay monthly to use the tool locally?

Perhaps (although unlikely) this thing I created 5 years ago helps, it's a react component created to be embedded in a go app but is independent, created just to scratch my own itch and not published to npm but anyone can just vendor it:

also has storybook but no online demo I'm sorry :(

edit: ha, I also found the plain js/css/html version there, a surprise from past me https://github.com/egeozcan/json-tail/tree/master/data/legac...

People have no problem with paying for open source, once. A recurring payment is a different topic, especially if it's unclear for what the payment is good for, what value it has for the customer.

I have a UX complaint about the carousel images on https://json4u.com/

While I was looking at the image and trying to understand, the carousel moved to the next image. It's too fast, and I can't get back to the first image without it immediately switching me to the second image. I can't get it to sit still either and NOT switch to the next image. Some carousels pause themselves when the cursor is hovering over it, but this one did not pause when I did that. The only way I had enough time to digest the information was by right clicking on the image and opening it in a new tab.
