in reply to Aral Balkan • • •When you write that there is code to be written, I always wonder whether you would accept contributions.
Feels pretty much like a one-man-show to me. I'm worried about the sustainability of this endeavour.

in reply to Ryuno-Ki • • •@RyunoKi I’m not :) Throwing more people at the problem isn’t always the right answer at every point in a project.
Will we accept contributions down the line? Sure. Of course. Is now the right time? No. But soon :)
(Believe me, I can’t wait for that either. But right now the bottleneck isn’t fingers on keys; it’s making sure the core design is sustainable longer-term and meets our success criteria. Maybe I should have made it clearer but it’s not _just_ code that needs to be written.)

in reply to Aral Balkan • • •I see.
Well, perhaps a communication issue on my end.

in reply to Aral Balkan • • •Yeah, especially if you have so many hands that it creates an organisational overhead.
On the other hand, bus factor of 1 isn't best either.
Can't wait to see this thing lift up!
