Awesome. :) Good luck.

I think it's a really attractive package for an early-stage one-person project. Nice docs, and cute bunny.

FWIW, it also seems super-sensible to focus on Mac only for now, and get the basics working well there — a good Mac DX could provide the traction/momentum to get more contributors to help build out the obvious cross-platform promise.
