He is really the only person who's working on Knots. Core does the heavy lifting and he just tweaks it a little.

That's pretty much what Luke is doing. Not knocking the guy but Knots isn't gonna be able to stand on its own if core is gone. Solo maintainer vs multiple people is always a bad sign.
It looks to me like there are at least two contributors to Knots: Luke and Retroplex. I am hoping to find at least 13 more. nostr:nevent1qqsdx7np8y4hnc5nne9du23v4y25edky4gr6xvznadsq06zyhqd966spr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0qgszrqlfgavys8g0zf8mmy79dn92ghn723wwawx49py0nqjn7jtmjagrqsqqqqqpghe4vy
Two is a good start. If I can get my skill up to par then I'd try to help contribute. I also looked at my wording and it might come off as dismissive of knots. I don't mean it that way. I support Knots and client diversity, just don't want it to be hyped and it being just Luke and the other maintainer and they get overwhelmed by all the things needing to get fixed.
Ironically ataraxia just started working on Knots and he uses a Windows XP avatar
Well I'm glad there's more people on Knots development. I realized my wording isn't the best, I'm not trying to dismiss Knots. But I just don't want it to get over hyped and adding stress to the very few maintainers it has or to possibly have it be another core situation if it gets adopted more. I appreciate you letting us know more info about who's working on Knots. You're the best and I appreciate all the work you do in ocean.
That does not seem to be true for the reasons I outline in this post: nostr:nevent1qqsdx7np8y4hnc5nne9du23v4y25edky4gr6xvznadsq06zyhqd966spr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0qgszrqlfgavys8g0zf8mmy79dn92ghn723wwawx49py0nqjn7jtmjagrqsqqqqqpghe4vy
Its not to knock on Luke. There isn't as much activity across Knots development from peeps and no one is really being vocal about it too. Hopefully that changes so there's diversity between clients to help strengthen the network.
