Sad to read, but not at all surprising. I remember how much damage control Kevin was doing back when the sale to Branch happened.

I hope he has learned something about trusting the word and contracts from entities like Branch from the whole thing.

Oooh, that's concerning, that's what I use. I don't find Android particularly useable without it, the vanilla experience is pretty awful.

I do hope it's not going away!

So it didn't get opensourced and the last dev has stopped working on it. I think the conclusion you can make from that is that it's gone.

It's not like there aren't several alternatives, especially ones that are basically the same. Lawnchair, Hyperion etc.
