The blog of Refine, an open-source React framework for building CRUD apps, admin panels, and internal tools, with tutorials on React topics.
HN commenters mostly discuss the Refine framework itself: how it compares to alternatives, its GraphQL support, its playbook, and feedback on its landing page.

Landing Page / Initial impressions
* You mention "enterprise" a lot on the landing page, along with being open-source, but then you also call your commercial version "enterprise". It is a tad confusing delineating what is what. Having built and sold developer facing tools, *I* have enough context to understand that you mean is "this isn't a toy, you can actually use it in for-real production apps with for-real big company requirements even in open source", but I don't think you are doing yourself favors by calling your commercial tier enterprise, as it really confuses the message.
* The above is made a bit worse by the fact that you don't have any mention of a commercial product on your landing page, so when I got to pricing (usually my second page) and see enterprise, now I am not sure if the landing page is just for commercial project and open-source is just a toy.

I want some docs. Anything you can give me besides contacting sales is going to help. I am not saying it is a paper launch / painted door, but it seems like one, and a thin one at that.
