A different project close to my heart is @dokieli, which uses web standards for decentralised article publishing, annotation, and social interaction ✒️

nlnet.nl/project/Dokieli-Colla

I hadn't heard of it before, but it sounds a bit like "#Medium (the pre-enshittified version), but standards-based and for the entire world wide web"! The NLnet grant is to focus on improvements and refactoring, which I'm taking to mean that the basic system itself is already live 🚀
