1 replySurprised a basic article without much deep insight gets to the front page. nango is one of the hundreds of integration unification attempts i saw come and go, they all get enshittified, bought and closed or severely limited by the new evil daddy. They all have licenses that do not really allow the community owning the platform mainly to try pretending they are not giant lock-in machines that pretend to save you time until you inevitably start fighting the system because their abstractions don't make sense for whatever your product develops into.
