Just wondered if there’s an update? The announcement made it seem like it was nearly ready but six months on there’s little publicly visible on sublinks.org?

Developing a platform like this is a lot of work and very technical. Communicating every step of the way to a non-technical audience would double the workload.
There’s basically two types of projects: Those that are dead, and those that are not. The fact that it is still getting commits means it’s in the latter category, and it’ll be done when it’s done.
It can be frustrating waiting for open source projects to progress, but part of what makes open source great is that you don’t need to rush half-baked features in order to meet some corporate roadmap. :)
That may well be true, but sounds like general exposition. I should point out that I’m not requesting a detailed roadmap and I don’t think anyone requested communication every step of the way.
The initial announcement made it sound like launch was imminent. That was months ago and so I imagined (perhaps foolishly) there would be some sort of update posted and hoped it would be in plain English.
Edit: In fact at the time of the launch jgrim said to stay tuned for regular updates!
