WHAT WE VALUE

Evidence.
Care.
Good judgment.

Real examples over canned demos. Native Mac behavior. Useful accessibility. Clear ownership. Honest claims about what passed and what still needs work.

SUPPORT THE WORK

Help keep the kiln warm.

Funding can support development time, test hardware, model-provider testing, and documentation. Public donation links are being configured with the maintainer. Until then, a reproducible issue, a thoughtful review, or a focused pull request is a valuable contribution.
