LC Built Apps held Hostage, Runtime execution rent - looked at FAQ

[Mike Kerner]

i am so disappointed in the direction LC is choosing to go.
i've previously posted on this topic, and the fees we pay, annually, for
some of the other tools that we use, and what we get for the money. even
though i just paid those invoices, i'm not going to rehash all of that
information.
we're down to two LC apps, and we're working on moving those to other
tools. LC is the only tool we're actively working to replace. we've
deployed a couple of new apps in flutter, and we're screwing around with
swift and kmp for two more. i don't like any of those
tools/languages/frameworks better than lc, but the code piece is still
written in prose. it's just that we start with  LLM-prose, instead of
LC-prose.

On the third day, God put the animals on hold for a few hours,

And God said, "This is good."
