Is this something to do with Brian Lovin? I see the design of his personal site is a heavy influence, but didn't know it was open sourced? https://brianlovin.c

The source code is really similar Not seeing Brian Lovin’s name in the LICENSE file in Nym either...

  Looks like they've claimed Brian Lovin's work as their own, judging by this commit: https://github.com/Nym-HQ/nym/commit/3dda085064e745bd43f8b052dcd18e2f802c1fec https://github.com/Nym-HQ/nym/commit/3dda085064e745bd43f8b05...

    Yup. 10 commits, first commit was just 4 days ago. Same with their public website & docs. On Github, it's all barely 4 days old. Brian Lovin has released his work under the MIT license. AFAIK I believe this leaves it open to others to take the code and just run with it. Even so, looking at their value proposition, it's just a landing page that leads to https://nymhq.com/join https://nymhq.com/join where you can subscribe to a "waiting list" to join a server. They claim "Nym is currently in private beta with limited servers, but is accepting waitlist requests now." The "showcase" on the front page are just content fodder (AI? Web 2/3/5?) with quick, unstyled instances of their blogging software. The rest of that landing page seems to contain a lot of fluff as well. Frankly, I'm extremely apprehensive about supporting this.

  Good to see this fixed quickly: https://github.com/Nym-HQ/nym/commit/a3530463ee323b8ba49296009c49d58be19b6f0c https://github.com/Nym-HQ/nym/commit/a3530463ee323b8ba492960...

    After being caught, they called erasing Brian Lovin’s credit from the LICENSE file as “A huge oversight on our part” https://twitter.com/nym_hq/status/1592176933445701633 https://twitter.com/nym_hq/status/1592176933445701633

      Had this happen to one of my projects. Someone decided to remove my name from the LICENSE file on their fork. I called them out on it, and they put it back, saying it was a "mistake". The only thing in the original commit was removing my name. Hard to believe that could occur accidentally.
