Interesting project, but I can’t help but think they’re setting themselves up for failure by not using more mature and stable upstream projects like GNUstep and Darling. Instead, they seem to have opted to use the remnants of Cocotron because “I prefer BSD/MIT/Apache-style licensing” (quoted from https://airyx.org/faq/). The problem, if you have a look at their Github project, is that Cocotron never implemented many of the more advanced Cocoa APIs and instead just calls NSUnimplementedMethod(). There are whole classes with no implementation. I guess this would allow you to compile software, but it most certainly won’t allow you to actual run any of it.
I work in web design and often find myself working with fonts and different codes for them. But in order to develop a font of this importance, you often need a visual template as a base to build upon. Here I recommend to familiarize with MasterBundles.com as I not once already found here good fonts and their ochen much so anyone will approach as good help!
Early days but already fun to play with. I can see the potential and wish them luck.
“beta” though? bit early to call it that isnt it?
