I'm sorry to hear this, but I'm also surprised that this is the first thing I learnt about this project, and that it is written in the third person. It detracts from the project.

What a crazy comment. The first clause of your first sentence was more than enough.

Imagine seeing a cancer announcement and thinking, 'This is bad for the branding.' Your lack of empathy is what’s actually detracting here.

I don't have a problem with mentioning cancer, but they should've mentioned which cancer to raise awareness and help others. The ribbon icon is gold which means pediatric/childhood cancer?

Asking for stars and forks is where it gets weird. I understand a crowdfunding program but how is this going to help?

Makes it even weirder that this is a completely anonymous, we don't know who works on it, and actually the project pretends to be authored by "AI". look at commit history and contributors

I don't want to be cynical here, my dad was diagnosed with cancer too but this just feels like some LLM was given a prompt to maximize stars and forks and this is how that went. I am very sorry to say this.
