No, just noting how you seem to be using this forum as a place to 
promote a project that looks dead on arrival and trying to point 
out that a project like that needs a lot more than just a few 
developers, it needs a vibrant community and money. If you feel 
so strongly about it, create content online that gets people 
excited. It is a toxic trait to just complain all of the time. I 
am old enough to remember a time where the goal was to always 
build people up, not to tear them down to fill some gap in their 
own psyche. Get a therapist, find real life a community of people 
to support you, etc. Getting onto every thread to complain is not 
the way. Read the room, I just wanted to share something that I 
figured out, that maybe doesn't get talked about very much here. 
That many people dread the idea of even. Things are good, there 
is a way forward, and all you can see is the deficits. We're all 
on a journey to be better today than yesterday.
