Important update to the platform

[Rune Thorsen]

My dearest ICoCreADer,

I hope this message finds you well and thriving in your projects. It's hard to believe that over a year has passed since we embarked on this incredible journey together starting with the Microsoft AI4A grant application. We've built a community of like-minded individuals, all passionate about creating innovative assistive technology through DIY methods.

Together, we've demonstrated what's possible with the power of collaboration and modern technology. But as much as I believe in our mission, it's become clear that we're facing some challenges that are hard to overcome. Other areas with significant funding are quickly advancing, and I didn't fully anticipate the social engineering effort required to make our platform thrive.

We've accomplished a lot, but I think it's time to call it a day. Unless someone is willing to take up the mantle and helping with the continuation of our work, the site will be closing down. It's a tough decision, but one that I believe is best for now. It has a fair amount of visitors though.

I want to express my deepest gratitude for your invaluable contributions, your passion, and your support. You've been an integral part of our journey, and I wish you all the best as you continue to pursue your own dreams and aspirations. I’m leaving the chat open so we can continue sharing and requesting solutions.

Thank you again, my friend.

Warmly,

Rune Thorsen
