FLIN Hub
Copy templates, not install packages. You own the code after copying.
🚧 Coming Soon
hub.flin.dev is under active development. This page describes the planned functionality.
Philosophy: Copy, Don't Install
npm/pip: "Install black boxes you don't understand"
FLIN: "Copy code you can read and modify"
npm: Dependencies = TECHNICAL DEBT
FLIN: Integrated code = YOU OWN YOUR CODEnpm vs FLIN Hub
| Aspect | npm/pip | FLIN Hub |
|---|---|---|
| Nature | Packages with dependencies | Templates & snippets |
| Action | Install (download tree) | Copy files |
| Versioning | Complex (^1.2.3, ~1.0.0) | Optional (code is yours) |
| Updates | npm update (breaks things) |
Manual (you decide) |
| Security | Transitive vulnerabilities | Read code first |
| Size | GB (node_modules) | KB (your source) |
| Ownership | You use their code | You own the code |

FLIN Hub is inspired by shadcn/ui — copy components into your project, don't install as dependency. You own and customize the code.
