+      It's an unfortunate reality that the environment for academic research software is difficult, and often times, even hostile.
+    </div>
+    <div>
+      Describo Started life as a product to enable users to create RO-Crate metadata for their research data. It went
+      through a number of iterations and achieved a small degree of success across the research sector. But
+      the funding to create the product was limited and available only in spurts.
+    </div>
+    <div>
+      In 2024, in an effort to develop a recurring funding stream to support the open source RO Crate editor component,
+      I invested a significant amount of personal effort to develop Describo into a product for HASS researchers to use
+      to work with data as well as describe it. After a decade supporting archivists, historians and linguists I felt
+      there was an opportunity to help the 95% who to this day are still being told to find their own support people
+      and to run their own server applications. If you've worked in this space you know that this is neither feasible nor realistic for most people and projects.
+    </div>
+    <div>
+      Describo was meant to help with that problem. As
+      a personal application it aimed to reduce the friction associated with extracting textual content from images, marking
+      up entities and relationships, analysing the network of connections and ultimately producing a well described
+      data object.
+    </div>
+    <div>
+      Sadly though, I wasn't able to develop an ongoing funding stream to support this effort so the time has come
+      to shut the project down and move on.
