   @lina @Baggypants @crypt17 we're working on MNT Reform Next, which i think can be a compelling alternative to Framework

     @mntmn @Baggypants @crypt17 yes thanks for mentioning it:)
     But some people might prefer framework style for whatever reason (modular ports, upgrade path from an existing platform) , also you would be the frist third party who made a mobo for their laptop😘
     I wanna see how the MNT Reform Next will look like
     Any info when it's coming? 2024?

     @lina @Baggypants @crypt17 framework is a venture capital funded company in a cutthroat market. there is no guarantee that they will be around in a few years, and they will take their IP with them to the grave (most probably). if MNT should go out of business it doesn't matter: all the sources, including the case, are already public.

     @lina @Baggypants @crypt17 MNT Reform has already been reproduced independently (by @jacqueline) so it is proven that the platform could survive even if our company or i would be gone. which none of the closed systems can do (except for retro computers that have been cloned, like the C64).
