Interesting concepts and ideas. There is definitely a lot of room to simplify frontend frameworks and I'm glad to see work in this direction. In the composition sample code [1] I see two counters in the code, but only one shows up in t

Yes, if you make it Open Source and possible to self-host it goes from DOA to definitely possible. Would have to explore more, like how it's written, the community around it, etc... before I really commit. Hopefully you can still make

Is your product open source? Because for this kind of thing it's really hard to trust unless it's open and self-hostable. Even if you say you don't need to store emails, there is still a chance of leaks via logging systems or

OP here. I think everybody wants to see SpaceX succeed of course, but when you're in the bleachers you are very keen to see it launch. For most people a scrub would mean packing bags and leaving the next day without ever witnessing the

If you move an engine forwards (or backwards) you are moving it along its thrust vector. Therefore the moment resulting from the distance between the thrust vector and the center of mass is unchanged. Source: Physics 101
