Tanstack always had one of the best data tables by far. But component libraries as a business model are dead in the water at this point sadly. Your whole product can be replaced with a few minutes of prompting now. Abstract design languages for agents to build around are the future, not concrete implementations.

This isn't from the TanStack creators, despite using their name (see footer disclaimer).

They are pitching this as a launch (first 20 buyers get a discount!), but their YouTube review videos are 5 months old with 67k views (looks like paid creators).

This looks like just another paid template hustle.

what you mean? It is for TanStack developers. The footer includes a disclaimer that it's not part of the official tanstack brand/team.

And what 5months old video? I just launched it 2 days ago

I agree, but there is still a decent market left. I see new boilerplate launches and making a 5-6 figure revenue. It's not supposed to be a revolutionary startup or anything, but can be a decent side hustle.

from != for. You can't just use someone else's trademark in your product name, especially when related to it.

Re:youtube - you link to several videos in the section "Why TanStack Start". Looking closer, they are actually about a project "Tanstack Start" (which is actually by TanStack folks) and not about this project "Tanstack Starter Kit". You linking to them confused me (as it seems it was intended to). Linking to videos as testimonials, knowing they aren't about your product, but the similarly named pre-existing product is very sketchy.

- Your logo is near copy of theirs

- Your name is near copy of theirs (just adding "er Kit")

- You link to videos about them from your homepage in a "Why" section
