Is the sans-Effect, in-progress rewrite of Evolu available somewhere as a public fork/branch?

Seems like an easy way to open up a little more transparency on the project's status. I know I'd be more reassured by that, even if progress is slow, just by being able to see the maintainers' intent and as a show of openness and good faith.

I had just started to work on some Vue utils based on evolu-react when the rewrite was announced. It seemed a good way to learn Evolu and Effect together (Effect's a nice library I may pick up elsewhere even if it's no longer part of Evolu), while also evaluating if it would be a good fit for some of my projects that use Vue. I put Evolu down at that point but check in from time to time times to see if there have been any updates (eg, #499, #501). I joined the Discord but I have a hard time keeping up and not sure I'll be able to continue exploring Evolu or even contributing something on the Vue side without a better idea what's going on behind the scenes.

As a fellow OS maintainer I know what a big lift it can be to tackle a big overhaul or to pay off some tech debt when time is so dear, let alone the additional lift of documenting everything, communicating progress, etc. So I only intend this in the spirit of mutual support and out of immense gratitude for what's already been contributed to date. For me, however, just being able to check a next or v6-alpha branch for the latest commits etc would go a BIG way to reassuring me. In any event, much thanks for all you do! 🙏

Believe it or not, I work almost every day, including weekends, with the help of @needim, @negue, @TheUltDev, and the recently added @subtleGradient. In the upcoming weeks, everything will be open without technical debt, missing docs, or toy-like architecture. I would add you to the private Discord channel, but it would only distract us at this (before the release) phase. Stay tuned please. Evolu will be back soon and much faster, more efficient, and better designed with almost the same API (we improved it a bit) and backward compatible.

Wonderful! I look forward to it, and thanks once again!
