Regardless of the quality here, I see this as a failed business model. Subscribable libraries of skills / premade assets was effectively what Tailwind was doing, and they weren't able to make it work any longer.

I could see it maybe as a one-time purchase, but $90/yr/user is somthing I'd never grab.

Not to mention my $299 total Tailwind Plus lifetime license (was TailwindUI, then paid the difference for the Plus bundle) has like 100x more stuff in it than $90/yr or $149 lifetime for—check notes—11 UI transitions...

Agree, also why does everything have to be a subscription nowadays baffles me.

Excuse me, please show a little more respect for my profit margins.
