It's been over a month since the last beta build. No blog posts either. Things just seem to have stalled... But they actually haven't, there's commits happening in the repo. What's going on?

In the past few months, they're rewritten much of the underlying code, converting much from Java to Kotlin. They've streamlined a bunch of options, they've redesigned a bunch of the UI to make it more modern looking. How is that not making it easier to use?

You know better than me, maybe I'm wrong but I don't understand, why we can't minimize Thunderbird to try? I think this is more important than Supernova thing.

Thunderbird for Android is a different team. Supernova needed to happen because desktop needed modernization, Thunderbird for Android is happening too.
