Found out that the government of Canada is using my project

I recently found out that an open source software from Canadian Digital Services (CDS) is using one of my personal projects, which I found pretty cool. Github allows you to see a list of repos that depend on your project in the insights view, and while the list is often fairly limited since it just shows public repos, I still like to scroll through the list every once in a while because I sometimes see some interesting projects.

My project is https://github.com/lukasbach/react-complex-tree, a React tree library for building feature rich tree views without making assumptions on looks, similar to file-based tree views you might expect in the sidebar of your IDE. I saw that CDS is using it in a public form builder app https://github.com/cds-snc/platform-forms-client (integration: https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Acds-snc%2Fplatform-forms-client%20react-complex-tree&type=code).

If you are also interested in trying out react-complex-tree, the code and links to documentation is available on the github repo: https://github.com/lukasbach/react-complex-tree

It's always exciting when I see other people or organizations use my library, I've seen some very interesting and unique integrations of react-complex-tree, and am just as honored to see it being used by government services. Let me know what you think :)
