    This point comes up a lot with obscure and seemingly pointless open source projects.
    It doesn’t have to be useful. Let the devs do what they like with their lives, they don’t owe anyone their free time.

      No shade being thrown at the devs. Ive chased many a “what if” myself. I certainly have opinions but what someone does with their time is their business.

      I wouldnt necessarily classify this project as pointless as the research has value. I simply was making observations and asking questions as an outsider looking at a project I wasnt familiar with conversationally.
