Hi

I try to login to the forum using Github account but there seems to be an issue with the connect. Anyway, thanks for the initiative, this seems super promising. Do you have a rough timeline for the initial public release?

Details are in the blog post, with the caveat that I'm already well behind schedule and the timeline is now "it happens when it happens." Thanks for letting me know about the forum - I assume you mean the Discourse, that Github logins do not work? Not surprised, things have probably expired or changed on Github's end, it's hard to keep up with this stuff...
