An open source Or a siginificant Vendor Lock-in?

I understand promoting your own products, and to some extent that makes sense.

However, heavily promoting third-party services like Arcjet, Basehub, Logtail, Clerk, Svix, Liveblocks, Knocklabs, and Upstash introduces a significant vendor lock-in. For many teams - especially those evaluating a SaaS starter or open-source kit - this becomes a real concern rather than a convenience.

Additionally, I’ve noticed that TanStack’s open-source libraries aren’t used anywhere in your open-source products or even in example implementations. In practice, many SaaS applications rely heavily on TanStack tooling, and it’s hard to consider a SaaS kit complete without something like @tanstack/react-table.

Including widely adopted, framework-agnostic open-source tools would make these examples more realistic and broadly useful, while reducing unnecessary coupling to specific vendors.
