Makes a lot of sense -- Vibe coding has made the development feedback loop insanely short, to where any friction feels painful. Getting your library in front of developers more easily is smart if you want to them to be able to actually consider you in their next project.
Honestly, good to see that Bryntum follows AG Grid’s footsteps and provides an open source version. Seeing what’s happening around, I’d assume it would be AG Grid who’d close the source in that partnership. Good job!
Great to see companies still pushing open source even with AI eating up the code for training. While vibe coding is cheap, it makes no sense for everyone to spend tokens remaking the same thing.
yeah from their post:
> AI coding agents made the gap between sign-up and a working app wider. An agent can’t fill in a trial form. It needs a package it can install and docs it can read.
> So we opened the code. We want you to read our code, learn from it, and build planning apps faster. More importantly, we want you to be able to ship reliable code that will set you up for success.
> Use your favorite agent to spin up a Bryntum Gantt in minutes. In no time you’ll be ready to track projects and customize the Gantt to your needs. Then change it, extend it and make it your own.
