The components looks really cool! However, you're using dark pattern by tricking the user with "Login to access the code" button. After I've gone through the process of signing up and logged in, I still couldn't access the component code. The same button then said "Unlock the code". Clicking on the button takes you to the Pricing page where you can pay $50 to see the component code. That's a dark pattern.

I appreciate you pointing that out. That’s not quite the experience I intended. The “Login to access the code” button should’ve been clearer upfront about requiring a purchase. I assumed the CTA button in the landing page would send that message. I'm planning to add FREE components as the library grows, so this is something I will revisit again.
