Artemis was a promising mobile app for Kbin, with a dedicated community, a rapid pace of development, and a high level of polish. Then, the developer disappeared.

    Yes, but if you’re lucky maybe 1 in 100,000 users will be both capable and willing to take up the reins. More often than not, when single (principal) developer projects lose its single developer the project just goes into code rot. ASF maintains tons of projects that are too valuable to lose completely but which have no one doing active development on them. It’s a problem.

      It’s a problem.

      Its a DIFFERENT problem.

      OP is talking about never creating because of fear of maintaining. How many good ideas have never come to anything because of this idea?
