In this video the founder of Elements tells where Elements came from, explains how Elements gets paid, and invites you to try it and start a discussion.
Where Elements came from
Elements started in 2012 as a new HTML language and grew from there. The first version of Elements ran a fintech company that processed hundreds of millions of dollars of transactions. Elements later became its own company, raised funding, and is now available to you. The history page (opens in a new tab) tells more of the story.
How Elements gets paid
Elements charges for the tooling, not the framework. Licensing is per machine, paid monthly, and the first purchase covers two licenses: one for your development machine and one for a deployment machine. The price is predictable per month, not based on usage or other metered variables. See pricing (opens in a new tab) for the current price.
The code you build is yours, and the runtime packages your app runs on, such as @elements/app, are MIT licensed (licenses (opens in a new tab)). You are not locked in if you ever stop using the tooling.
Try Elements
Start with the free trial at elements.dev/install (opens in a new tab), and start a discussion thread in your welcome thread or on Discuss (opens in a new tab). Say what you are trying to build, and we will help you succeed.
