For a second I thought there was a new album that had flown under my radar, and I wondered why a review of it had been shared on HN.

If you scroll all the way down, you can see at least a similar look of “the band” :)

This project is really exciting. It's founded by 2 ex Qt guys and I think they made the right decision of focusing on the UI aspect only, instead of aiming to be a full on framework like Qt.

Slint is very much the real deal and I truly hope it sticks for a loooong time!

Couldn’t see anything about accessibility, and last time I tried slint (18 months ago), there was no accessibility support I could make work.

Any progress?

I'm surprised they were able to take a well-known band name that's a made up word and name their project after it

It's not a made-up word in my language.

It is in the language of the band they took the name from and replicated the team/band photo from, though. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/slint-spid...
