Nate - We discussed the issues extensively on discord and you even did a video call with me and my team. The entire core theming structure changed multiple times and worked with Eshan (which you represented as being a great developer and contributor to Tamagui) to solve the issues… just to have them break again on a minor version for you to release takeout. Having donated over $1,000 to the project and spent a ton of time in the discord and messaged with you more than a handful of times I feel like this comment isn’t genuine but is to save face on HN.

Listen, I really am sorry that you guys had trouble, and I really appreciate the support you gave. Did you come to me when you had these regressions? If there's one thing it's that I am responsive to issues, especially with sponsors.
Ehsan is a decent developer, and I'm not sure what you mean by "to release takeout". But I don't appreciate the end of your comment, I'm being pretty frank here and admitting we had regressions.
It feels a bit more like you want to offload a failure entirely to me. I don't think it's a smart strategy to be updating hundreds of dependencies many times within a few month period. Tamagui has generally been stable and we have tons of success stories, and I get thanks literally daily from people.
Again, I don't deny that we have had regressions and instability, especially around January when we had a bug slip through that we missed for a week, and that was hard to fix due to a change that was merged after it. That was one of the worst two weeks of my life - I spent an entire period of 4 days over a weekend with 3 hours of sleep on average each night fixing that issue.
But I think the real and true story is that Tamagui has been generally stable for quite a long time, and if you compare it to the 50+ libraries you'd need to glue together to make up a similar surface area it likely would be more stable.
