Hey, came across your project earlier and I won’t lie, it genuinely stood out to me for a couple reasons.

Most people build things that look good on the surface, but yours actually feels like there’s a bigger direction behind it.

I was curious enough to reach out instead of just starring the repo and moving on lol.

What’s the bigger vision behind it?
