That shift changes everything.

In a monogamous storyline, many rules are assumed. In an open relationship storyline, everything must be verbalized. This provides a masterclass in radical honesty and vulnerable communication.

how different shows/movies handle open relationships.

Other stories simply present the dynamic as a fact of the world. This approach helps destigmatize non-monogamy by showing that these couples face the same mundane problems as everyone else—bills, careers, and family dynamics. 4. Representation Matters

Our vision

Taking the hard out of hardware

Unlike software, building hardware is still insanely difficult. If you’re working with atoms, the costs are high, the risks are significant, and the timelines are long.

We founded Flux to make atoms as malleable as bits.We want to take the hard out of hardware, to make it as easy for a teenager to build an iPhone as a website. Read more about Flux manifesto.
