https://nostrgram.co/ lets you switch these. Sadly, development seems to have stopped 😔

And the developer vanished without a trace 😟

Not sure if this is true in this particular case or not but it's usually due to developer burnout. I've seen it happen over and over again.

The more exciting a new project is, the greater the risk. The initial excitement and FOMO is a double edged sword. It initially causes them to spend all their spare time on it, but this can often cause burnout and flip to an equally strong opposite emotion of disgust as their subconscious screams "all the hard work you've done on this will never pay off".

sad since back in february-march nostrgram was perhaps the biggest web client 😞

nostr:npub1t9a59hjk48svr8hz6rx727ta6kx53n5d6fw8x26vsua0zytpl87sa6h4uw certainly was competent and churned out quality work in no time. It was the most promising for some time apart from being closed source. And what happened then is kind of the reason why I hated to help him debug it. I had sent numerous bug reports his way for what?

You never know who’ll stick around. This makes contributing to open source projects ever more meaningful - even if original project dies your contributions can be put into practice by other ones.

agree.
