@jackwilliambell Yeah, it's not a consumer product - it's a tool for people who want to prototype and develop mobile apps.

I get that. But it's also an early stage product with primitive tooling; meaning not everyone can currently develop for it.

I'll admit I *do* have the skillset required, modulo being a beginner with Rust. But gaining that skillset also taught me just how difficult and time-consuming low-level embedded development can be.

[We'll skip the stories about spending a week getting an LED to blink and triumphantly demoing to bored executives asking if that's all I've got.]

What Precursor needs at this point isn't app developers, it's tool developers making UI toolkits, targeted services, and useful shared libraries.

Maybe after my current job taps out in July and I can re-retire?
