@algernon What is the current development status of Chrysalis?

If I look at github, the last commit was in January some 7-8 months ago, and if I try to download the latest precompiled build for linux it starts and shows the initial device selection window, but never moves on. I’m too lazy/busy to set up a whole node/clojure dev environment right now, so I haven’t tried directly from the latest master commit.

It would be awesome to have a working graphical configuration tool, especially if some of the Model01 users are not programmers, although for me personally, I’m ok rebuilding and flashing the firmware (I’m a programmer).
