Yeah, I’ve seen over the years projects that were good, but for whatever reasons the creator stopped updating it, and followers would request to no avail for them to release the code so it could continue.
Another OG kbinaut here (remember when we were all trying to figure out an appropriate demonym?). Ernest seems to be quite well! He’s got a relatively active blog.

Unfortunately, due to personal circumstances, I had to step away from actively working on Kbin and leave its further development to the community. Nevertheless, I am happy to see the project thriving, with a dedicated group of users and contributors who continue to push its vision forward.

That’s why I only want to get emotionally invested in open-source projects because then I know that the code will live on.
Racoon is another project that was saved by the community.
