You talk a lot about the compiler backend. Suppose we use a different UI library other than the big ones like React and Angular. How can I plug in my custom backend ?

Do you have plans to open source the backend ? So devs over time can make it even smarter for all sorts of use cases ?

Open source and profitable are orthogonal things. You can still be profitable and build a solid product with a raving community.

Definitely! I'm glad to see this is on other people's minds :)

We're huge on backwards compatibility (and think everyone should be), which is why we don't want to expose something we haven't stabilized yet. We'll have a way to export our just-before-codegen internal representation (shame on me for forgetting the PL term) once it settles down a bit. It's very much like a DOM, so there's not too much craziness there.

We'll be launching a bunch more backends in the coming weeks, so there's a good chance we'll have first-party support for your favorite framework anyway :)

Will be definitely be looking out for it.

This is a great first minimum delightful product. Good job.
