Week 20: devel build available for download

Excited to be writing this status report!

These reports started just about 20 weeks ago, but work on this project started way before that. There were already two barely working prototypes attempted, but had severe issues and have been discontinued.

Third prototype started with baggage of mistakes made previously, knowing that if I resolved those—this project might as well work out. Up till today, air was filled with hopes, but mixed with doubts - it was unclear if all the peaces will fit together.

And today, I’m thrilled to report, that peaces actually fit, and biggest unknowns have been resolved. There are still some challenges ahead, but all of them don’t pose existential threads.

Devel build available for download

Please keep in mind, that this a development build - many bugs, many missing features, things could drastically change… But it would be great to hear your thoughts about layout and general aesthetics.
