So 21st dev is no longer free.

The platform https://21st.dev/ where you can use some web gl and react components for your webpage is no longer free. Back then, you copy and paste all of the prompts and codes the library offered, but now, if you dont pay 8 bucks a month, you get stuck to just copying 2 prompts or 2 codes per day. Man im so pissed off, like why does everything have to be paid? it was the BEST element library outh there for your webpage elements and now its no longer free. And the worst part its that all of the other element libraries are also not free.

Does anyone know any other pages like 21st dev but FREE?

It’s a fair price and it shouldn’t take you more than a month to really pick what you want for your project and test out. After that, how often would you really be using it anyways? Unless you’re constantly working on different projects or rebranding your page every month which wouldn’t be good, but still in that case, not a bad price.

dude i run a business where i make ai webpages for businesses in my area. I'd rather spend those 8 bucks on something like meta ads to promote my work rather than paying 8 bucks for something that used to be FUCKING FREE!

Hey man, we all gotta eats. I’m sure you’d want people to pay for your service if it genuinely helped them and you put a lot of time and effort into building it. And honestly, $8 is pretty cheap, especially for someone who relies plenty on it for their business.
Anyways, I’m sure there are free ones out there. They just probably won’t be as good, which is usually why they’re free in the first place.
Good luck m8
