Thanks Matthew, I always appreciate your comments.

I also do appreciate the Apache license.

Sorry for the vapourware comment. It's hard to tell these days. Was the Google self-driving car thing vapourware? It never went anywhere.

I know that pinecone worked as a PoC. I ran a node for years, for fun. It's just that it always felt like the progress was crazy slow. The yggdrasil demo was what, 4 years ago? How fucked up will the world be in 4 years? Not that it's your fault.

And I care about matrix. I was the one who suggested arewep2pyet.com, I made 1-2 friends use it (matrix), I made 1-2 coworkers use it.

Also, zulip threads now or I riot.



The best way to get P2P Matrix back on track is to find someone to fund it, and point them at funding@matrix.org. Unfortunately it's as simple as that.

Well, it goes somewhere: people are actually being driven around Pheonix, Arizona [0] using those cars. It's just that it is not named "Google self-driving cars" any more: it was spun into its own company, Waymo [1].

Zulip threads are killer.

Shame you can't categorise Zulip streams like you can with channels on Discord though (something that's also related to the IRC/Matrix vs. Discord conversation/content discoverability thing mentioned elsewhere here).
