@mossfet their website is very beautiful but all they've built so far seems to be a notetaking app I cry

@dragon so, the notetaking app is a demo/testground for their peer-to-peer work. a lot of them are devs for a peer-to-peer sync system called peer2panda, so reflection is used to do a lot of groundbreaking work in peer-to-peer sync. 

obviously on the surface that's just a notes app but under the hood that's peer-to-peer UX patterns research, work on the (environment-agnostic) rust crates for peer-to-peer sync, integration of peer-to-peer libraries into the GNOME stack, etc

on top of that they do a lot of work in desktop stack stuff such as packaging work for immutable distros

@dragon there's also obvs the funding issue - these are GNOME devs who are mostly funded to do other things e.g. GNOME Core or design work

as an example tobias bernard is mainly doing GNOME shell rn

basically the STF money dried up a couple months ago and it's been a bit slow before they get more funding to keep doing more reflection stuff etc
