Have you tried hiring developers to do the work that you want?

I just cannot understand the entitlement of demanding some open source developer must do particular unpaid work that users are demanding.

With open source, you can fork the project.

It should be okay for an open source maintainer to say “no”.

Perhaps disconnecting the RF antenna, and replacing it with an appropriate termination?

Turn based, or at least have a pause button (in single player).

How exactly would it “get stomped”, and by whom?

BTW, there is a miniflux package in Debian testing / unstable: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/miniflux

I’m also interested, but I haven’t kept up with the project. It sounds nice if data can be shared between apps, rather than each app just managing its own tables in a database.
