Well, tbh most credit is due to Iva (who suggested the glass keys in the first place, link on Jorb's OP)
But Iva is also a villager of Aurora, so ...
That's a slightly skewed view, I'd say. Of course CF is the largest/most successful community market in Haven so it does determines some standards; for example, I did build garden sheds for hand-to-hand trades after seeing it in CF because they're indeed a logical and good way to trade things.
But other than that I don't really see anything "copied" per se. Our shop systems are different (CF uses a claim system which is arguably more secure; we opted for a key/field cairn system that is slightly less secure but works for our aesthetic purpose, we wanted to create rows of houses that are really close together - to look like a city - and claims do not allow that, unfortuantely) Luckily we never had any security incident so I guess the system is not as secure as a claim but it's not unsafe either.
As for things like public tools, we've actually had them before CF built their public kiln; our kiln came a couple of days later but we already had, for many months, things like loom & spinning wheel, public forges, anvil, cauldrons, etc... All of them using ingenious different combinations of field cairns and such.
I'd hardly call any of those "copies" of anything, though, to be honest. They're naturally obvious things that would eventually come up with amazing systems like Visitor: markets, public tools and facilities, public events, etc...
And I doubt Tuz feels "copied" just like CF didn't really "copy" Sevilla and so on. So it feels a bit awkward to think that one would be copying the other as these are not exactly never before seen things
Aurora (including market and such) was "imagined" before W10 itself even started - and I already knew that there would be a new community market (that would become CF) and we never really actually aimed to compete nor be "bigger" nor "better" than it. That was never the idea, exactly because I believe that the more community projects in the world; the more open cities and open markets, each with their own perks and characteristics... This diversity can only be benefitial for Haven, right?
