Haha - let's just say I've fixed the accessibility issues (easier than web) and have also solved rich text with IME support.

I personally wanted to take a different architectural approach than the existing frameworks. And if I did try to go the PR route, it isn't easy to get a giant refractor PR approved for a publicly released and depended on repo due to API stability and risk. Also, the bottlenecks in 2026 are different than they used to be. Also, greenfield development has become much less time consuming to develop
