Hi Drew and Edmund,

I'm a FE developer on Arc (Arcadia’s API Platform), and I was surprised to see how similar Pelm was to some of the projects I've worked on, considering the release of Arc "took you by surprise."

Your designs on your website look very close to the design of our connect widget and even has the same copy.

For example, this is the Arcadia landing page: https://i.imgur.com/FkPq6S5.png While this is the landing page on your website: https://i.imgur.com/dVVOSqD.png

It gets worse on the "success" screen: https://i.imgur.com/kzgyTwv.png

I'd like to view this as a coincidence, but I viewed your Pelm-Connect repo and thought the documentation looked familiar: https://i.imgur.com/hYWIk6d.png

I looked at the commit history in the git repo, and found it was copied from our documentation: https://i.imgur.com/DF8aqFl.png https://github.com/Pelm-Technologies/react-pelm-connect/comm... https://github.com/Pelm-Technologies/react-pelm-connect/comm...

Our whole team has worked hard on our API for months, so it's really disheartening to see it copied like this.

If anyone is interested in Arc, which supports 125 utilities and has had people working on the utility data problem for 5 years, you can sign up at https://arc.arcadia.com/signup.
