I also think that Micah is being too hard on himself and the active
PicoGUI community.  From my own experience, I know that being head-down
in the buggy parts of the code (where else would you be?) often prevents
you from seeing your positive achievements.  To my knowledge, there is
nothing else in PicoGUI's niche of features and footprint.  It is truly
awesome, and this community should be proud of it.

I would contribute to such an effort where humanly possible and
appropriate.
