They started great with unpronounceable name, webpage with zero actual details and goals that sound extra strange considering what gnome is. Good job.

    Yeah I can't see any way to pronounce that name other than "jism", which is certainly an unusual association to suggest for one's own project.

    The project doesn't seem like it's actually a joke, but that's quite an unfortunate name choice if they are trying to be taken seriously by anyone who speaks English.

    Is this person at all known? They have next to 0 presence on their Github page. It's unclear whether they have any developer experience, which makes me wonder if this document was just AI generated without any knowledge of what it would take to do what they want to do.

    Without looking into it at all, there are plenty of possible valid reasons why someone would choose to pick a fresh pseudonym for a project like this. I think it's important that we don't lose that, socially.

    Give it time and let them prove themselves if this is relevant to you.

    I agree that being able to work under pseudonyms is good.

    Still, that doesn't mean this project worthy of media attention given. It would be if there was at least some implementation work done. In general, projects tend to actually do something before making an announcement, especially one with an ambitious goal like this.

    It seems... pretty bare. I've looked at the page, and for a "design-led downstream", we don't have much for their own design philosophy except that it'll have minimalism like GNOME, and the presentations seems to be very "vague".

    I'm a bit skeptical about this project tbh.

    Well right off the bat they’ve failed at designing their project’s name
