It's a shame you are unable to continue to support it, I do not mind taking the helm - but I probably will need some help since I don't know much programming. I might be able to muster some periodic releases like an LTS, and I'd be glad if you were able to give a hand every so often if you are able to.

I can serve as an advisor regarding developing for elementary OS.

Not that I know much about Olifant specifically, but I do rely upon it!

I wonder is @jcamposz would be interested, they seem to have made quite a few pulls already.
I've already made the changes necessary for the main window to get rounded corners, I'll open a PR later.

Hey, @hanaral!

Thanks for mentioning me in the thread, I really appreciate it. I am deeply sorry for such right step of pausing the project without further notice. I really want the project to strive, but at that moment my priorities shifted a lot so I needed to say “no” to some things, and Olifant was one of them.

I can try resurrecting the project now, but I will not be able to contribute much with code because Vala is really not that language I am deeply interested in and want to invest much time in. I can see only these things I can contribute or help with:

  • Building a CI pipeline to ensure stable builds
  • Managing releases
  • Organizing tasks and issues

And before resurrecting the project, it is better to be sure that:

  • there are developers interested in contributing with code
  • there is clear vision on next steps and whether we are ready to work on them
  • we have clear understanding of who is responsible for what (due to there is more than one person interested)

I’m not sure if I’d personally be able to keep it alive by myself.
Would you be able to resume some basic development on the side?
I don’t mind at all trying to help development and improve developer attraction. I’ve already somewhat successfully implemented libhandy rounded window corners + I want to make swiping back from posts possible with gestures
Also we have a hugely anticipated release of elementary around the corner which might give it a boost. This project could easily catch new elementary devs who want a social media app on the platform
Edit: forgot to tag

Hello @hanaral , I could help you to keep alive this project. I'm interested but my knowledge about GTK development is really poor, This a good oportunity to learn more. I promise to study :-D

I would like to help as well. I am not experienced, but that is because of a focus on college coursework, which has rather oddly taken me away from most, if not all, opportunities for me to learn more about GTK development. I will see if I can learn more and contribute as I would also love to see this project survive (I use it whenever I use Elementary OS).

what is the current roadmap and bugfixing priority list for this project? I have some time off from school, so I should have some time to teach myself what would be needed to contribute.

@stormchaser3000 I'm not sure about a schedule, but probably pushing a bugfixing update ever couple of months. I can try doing aesthetics stuff like styling, icon making and so on. I also don't mind making promotional stuff and setting up a ghpages site for it.
