They’re also excellent at gathering attention, which for something like this can be really helpful; more devs and more patrons
I should probably take a hint from the Dolphin book and do monthly long-form progress reports on the M1 porting. That sounds like a nice cadence for writing polished articles without diverting *too* much time to it from the actual dev work.https://twitter.com/Dolphin_Emu/status/1336819290696163328 …

I wouldn't underestimate the amount of time spent on this. We have two people who have been doing that for years now and are really good at it, and it's still taking days of writing and reviews for every progress report.
@MayImilae can probably give more insight :) -
OTOH, this also demonstrates a crucial point: you don't have to do it yourself. People have different skills and different ways of contributing to projects. Across "large" emulator projects the progress reports are rarely written by people who write lots of code or do lots of RE.

That's what we do for Ryujinx too and it is really not that time consuming (most of the time) and a good way to keep track of advancement even for us ^^

A progress report like Dolphin is great but very time-consuming for a single-dev project . A 10-line weekly worklog summary describing main topics, blockers, archived successes, etc. is more than enough for watchers like us. A public repo that we can follow is icing on the cake
-
I don't think it should take more than a day to put together a progress report, especially for a single dev project where everything's in my head already! That sounds like a worthwhile time investment to me, tbh :) The repo will be open, of course!
