@crzwdjk @chrisisgr8 computing is still an expensive hobby and few people are willing to pay unless it's something huge

@esm @crzwdjk @chrisisgr8 it was an expensive hobby in 1980. Today you get a free amazon micro instance, 500GB of cloud storage across 8 providers, and you can get a powerful laptop for about $150, so - I mean it’s objectively never been more accessible.
