After a long silence from the developer, project moderators stepped down. The mobile app for Kbin appears to have closed its doors.

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

    So? You as the original developer actively wanted to get away from it, don’t care what happens to it afterwards.

      I’ve never not cared about my code. And If I didn’t care about users depending on it I’d feel like a monster.

        I love the way of describing Free Software. Paraphrasing and I don’t recall the source: “Not free as in speech or free as in beer. Free as in puppies.” You can get a puppy for free but then you have to take care of it all the time, and it incurs costs like vet visits. Free Software can be the same way.
