I am only just having a look at all of this, and the learning curve, even for someone familiar with the concepts, is a lot. It has still taken me a whole day to figure out wth is going on and probably have 10 IDs now lol... still don't know what a Zap is. heh. Anyway, there is always that tension between normie uptake and viability and I hope various projects can help with that onboarding gap to what is a great product.
Personally, I am just excited to see people working so hard and agree that optics is paramount. Anyway, I hope to persevere and help where I can (hope you don't mind me jumping in and replying here to test/find people/get events etc working). I'm one of those 30-year Unicorn Design and people-people, not an engineer, but giving it a good shot. Onya, folks. You're all doing great.
