I cross posted this because I felt like it somehow belonged here. Now I see your point, I look at the site and nothing state how are computed the metrics, this should be clarified in my opinion (now the stat site is open source so you can check yourself if you want).

I think that one of the structural change that helped a lot to have less stalled or unmaintained open source projects is the improvement in the DevOps tools.

I mean that, until recently, I always had been an open source user and supporter but, despite being a professional software engineer, I never coded in open source projects. The reason to this is that I did not wanted to commit myself into a project that I cannot afford to work regularly on because of professional and/or personal time constraints.

Now with the broad use of git and related platforms for open source projects (GitHub, gitlab, ...), it's possible to work only a little on open source projects. You can fix a bug impacting you as an user, translate some strings in your native language, improve the doc, ... without commiting to work regularly on the project. You just change the stuff, have no requirements to inform anyone, make a pull request and it's merged or not by the maintener ...

I think this is really what contributed to improvement in the way open source projects evolved.

This maybe my next read 🙂

Currently reading The Golem of Hollywood, by Jonathan & Jesse Kellerman, I'm half through it and enjoy it very much.

Nothing on the shelf yet (except Holly by Stephen King but I think I will read one or two novel before the release). I'll probably look on the lemmyverse for suggestions.

Don't know if it's what you thought about but there is Breezy Weather which allows setting a location in one of the supported service. This means that you can specify several times the same location with different providers and access them by swiping right/left or setup a widget for each. It's available through Obtainium or on IzzyOnDroid F-droid repository.

I use droid-ify. I tried NeoStore, I like the UI more buy I find it a bit too unstable. I also use obtainium for some fast evolving projects or stuff not on f-droid repositories. Never heard of f droid classic, will give a try.

Do you have any use case for it ? I don't really see why I would want to delay an post (except for spam or so but I hope that's not the goal of the utility, lol).

For day to day use, I think it's a bit hard to use. But I use unexpected Keyboard as secondary keyboard for editing code, or using CLI (termux, ssh to servers, ...). I will however give a try to anysoft for other uses...

Thanks for this update, the MD editor looks promising. If you want a good open source example of great md editor, take a look to Joplin mobile app.
