What is lumen or firefly? I can't get to any website or github. Can you share a link?

Got a github link https://github.com/lumen/ but it seems abandoned and not actively maintained

Firefly is the new name, Lumen the old. Lumen lost momentum for a bit, DockYard seems recommitted to finishing it up.

I think it has fantastic promise.
