I've never used or looked at Typesense (I've been perfectly happy as a Meilisearch user), but your characterisation of interacting with Meilisearch is so alien it makes me wonder if we've been looking at the same project.

Across the assortment of Meilisearch repositories, I've raised two PRs (one accepted, one rejected), five issues, one feature request and pinged one issue for an update.

Every single time the Meilisearch team has been responsive, communicative and generally a delight to interact with - there are very few projects I would consider better.

Just thought I'd throw in my experience.
