Is the wonderful Sidebery project dead?

Afaik there's been no @mbnuqw commits for over 4 months. Am i right to worry about the state of this project? Atm, 16 hours ago there was a translations commit by @llc0930, but before that, no activity for several months. 🤷‍♀️

Even if you tag me, I can't give you an answer, because I am just an idle person who occasionally provides translation corrections. Actually I am not familiar with the author. But if you are willing to listen to my opinion, I think the author also has his own life, just like you have your life and I have mine.
It seems that you may be very concerned about the implementation progress of #1473? However, the author has mentioned at #1473 (comment) that Floorp needs to implement additional API.

I'm sorry if I misunderstood your thoughts, because I am not you after all, and I can't understand what are you worried about?
Similar concerns can often be seen in various popular open source projects, and it may just be because the author has not updated for a while. But personally I think if they run without major issues overall, then they probably don't need that many updates? And no one is stopping the people who raised the concerns from forking those projects... Modern people can sometimes be too greedy...

Oh great, Max @mbnuqw just Closed an Issue i was following, & made a new Commit 28 minutes ago, thus my fears were for nothing & the project must still be alive. Happy happy!

Again all motion seems to have stopped. I'm back to fearing for this project.

No, the project is not dead. I'm working right now on the #1372 (as it has donation). Soon will add an option to Sync and send tabs to different device via Google Drive (as the first step for #1372).

Generally, the addon is working fine right now (from my perspective), so no changes is needed. If some bug appears and starts to bother me, I will fix it. Or if someone donates to fix a bug or add a feature, I will start working on it.

Thx for replying, & i'm so happy to hear this news.

Yes, v5.2.0.9 still works well for me overall, but my ongoing desire would be collaboration between you & the Devs of Floorp & Zen for better integration, most especially of tab context menus. Additionally, Sidebery seems to not "play nice" with the respective Workspaces in those browsers, so in both my installations of F & Z, in the profiles in which i use Sidebery i must disable their native Workspaces.
