The project is being developed as a volunteer open source project because we think it should exist. There are 4 core members on the team https://github.com/orgs/FyshOS/people but we accept contributions from around the community.

We are always looking for sponsorship and of course commercial partnerships would be pretty cool too!

Just FYI, there's only two members who are visible if you're not in the organization yourself.

Oh that is strange, I didn't realise it was different for internal vs external! I fixed my visibility but one of the team is marked as private for their own reasons.

Basically the project came from the Fyne community because we can build all GUI apps so fast now that it was a shame not to have a desktop environment with the same benefit :).

So to summarize - Fyne is a (? cross-platform ?) library for GUI apps, and you believe it's more productive than existing libraries, so you wanted a native window manager because ... exactly why? what exactly is the savings or advantage?

Because I tried working on existing ones and it was painful.

I wanted a modern alternative to exist that was approachable and fun. And once we have met existing systems we can start to exceed them ;).
