The designs don't look great.

Here's an idea: produce designs that use the commercial Tailwind components. Your designs will look great. Have a link for the user to buy the components if they don't already own them. Work out an affiliate deal with Tailwind Labs. You can get rid of the time limits and the pricing.

If you start generating money for them they may buy your app.

Yes, agreed. Modifying the tool to use other tailwind based UI frameworks would be useful. I'd pay for a fast tool that lets me describe an app UI or landing page concept and then shows me previews rendered in different frameworks, themes, and layouts. Most of my time wasted on frontend projects is fidgeting with initial layouts and themes. If I want to switch a tailwind theme from say square to rounded corners on all the components and cards, it's a pain unless I override the helper classes. So an AI tool for theming would be worth it IMO.

I agree with both of you, this would be a next step. Hopefully enough to salvage this a bit.

From what I’ve seen, Tailwind Labs isn’t a fan of collaborating with other companies - no knock on them just seems like they don’t feel the need to
