Please, keep in mind there is ZERO FUNDING for my projects.

For these who don't know, I'm the author of Kind and HVM. I've recently seen a criticism from an influent person in the community, who I took as an inspiration, that made me really sad: "the guy behind this has built some impressive-sounding stuff before... it looks like his projects tend to just... go nowhere and he just abandons them and does something else? so I'm cautiously waiting to see if anything real comes out of this before joining in on the hype"

I won't name the individual, but feel the need to respond this openly, because this may be the impression of others too. So, socking news: I'm only one. Yes, this isn't the work of a company, nor a big team. There are some friends helping me, but they are working part-time, mostly voluntarily, and still learning programming, so it is still not a substantial help. Nothing has been abandoned. I'm just limited by my minuscule scale. Formality has just been renamed to Kind, which is still in development, but I've been too busy with HVM. That's all. There are only so many characters a hacker can type in a day!

I know it wasn't an ill-intentioned comment, but I see how this can be the overall impression, so I just want everyone to understand my limits. I'm not paid, this isn't a for-profit company, I'm just a guy building cool tech to push humanity forward. If you want to see my ideas moving faster, consider investing on them! I could do so much more if I had access to a fraction of any random dogcoin's funding. But I don't, so, until we figure out a way to fund non-profit, open-source projects like this, there is a limit on how fast they progress. Sorry ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
