It seems they stopped working on it in April 2022, for the most part: https://gitlab.com/nakst/essence/-/graphs/master?ref_type=heads https://gitlab.com/nakst/

  Seems like the commits since 2021 have been bugfixes. Maybe this is mostly done rather than stopped?

    The website says "Essence is still in development." In large type at the bottom of the page.

        It is still a very inspiring project. Someone with CPP experience can keep on working on it. Would have being nice if it in Rust. The video gave a lot nice insight to having a tabbed window based UI. It makes it more like browser. That idea can very much be adapted be used in project such as Fomos or even create a WM in Linux/FreeBSD.

  As always. I don’t know why people even pretend that it’s going to be a real thing. It’s like me saying I’m going to make my own jumbo jet. You can toss together a shitty biplane but at the end of the day you can’t make the engine or the full size fuselage and there are no mechanics or factories for your jet so nobody is ever going to use it.
