> shadcn is built on top of Tailwind. If Tailwind dies, so does shadcn.

They can fork tailwind into openwind and keep using the stable version for a looong time with minor fixes.

And that would probably benefit shadcn somewhat since they would have more control.

And how would you adjust Shadcn salaries to account for this additional work? Do we expect open source labour to be subsidised by maintainers while the rest of us find work at FAANG?
