Great stuff, Keavon and team. I know reddit can be a little tepid with its feedback, but this is genuinely next level stuff.
Are you able to talk about your monetization/funding situation? Is someone paying you guys, or is this all for the love of the game?

Is it browser only?
Keavon@reddit (OP)
Currently, but Windows/Mac/Linux builds should be hopefully available by the end of this year per our roadmap. See here for more about this choice to focus on the web first.

Omg, it's written in rust! RUST!!! It has to be good right? RIGHT???
How to spot shitty software, if the author makes a big deal about the language used, it's shitty software.

Funny, because the tools I’ve used that have been written in Rust are fantastic.

You'd be amazed knowing how many users I've encountered with a full history of just trashing Rust on reddit.
loptr@reddit
Mentioning the programming language something is built in when posting to a programming subreddit is "making a big deal about" it?
Absolute trash take. Rust is literally mentioned twice in the entire page. Go back to your Roblox.

So shitty they have had multiple GSOC contributions. 🙄
bronkula@reddit
Good luck, man. You have a long road ahead.

Q: How can you tell if something is written in rust?
A: the author will tell you.
(Get it, it’s like the vegan joke)

You can guess by the Serbian .rs TLD ;)

Your roadmap is interesting. You planned to create a Tauri desktop app first then rewrite all the UIs in Xilem later. Wouldn't it take less effort to just use Xilem in the first place?
Keavon@reddit (OP)
Xilem isn't production-ready yet.
