And a shout-out to https://folk.computer/ as well! They're not as far along in terms of feature parity, but they are open source, and exploring the space in other directions.

If you have any ins with this project would you mind asking them to add a line or 2 describing what it is about, or even a linked text in the start.txt file?

Just a simple:

> Folk Computer is a research & art project centered around designing new physical computing interfaces.

From ./notes/tableshots.txt with a link towards the top would imo be quite helpful.

(Sorry, this is just one of my pet peeves: needing to know what a project is about before being able to read about it is just terrible UX, although extremely common as we as humans tend to forget that we know things others don't)
