This is cool because we need more open competition for the app/identity locked ecosystems of sports related electronics like gps watches, bike computers, and action cams. I hate how none of the major brand ones will work without at le

Whatever the US did in 2009 doesn't seem to have had any long term effect on Swiss GDP. It dipped in 2009, like everyone else, from the "global financial crisis" but recovered the next year. https://www.bfs.admin.

Sadly, this project is dead. It appears the startup that was working on it couldn't raise money and folded. I built half of a MUD-like thing with it but later rewrote it in Scala 3 with the ZIO effects library.
