After some back-and-forth with a few people, some very generous drinking about it, and, quite frankly, just not having a new hobby lined up yet, I've decided to un-archive the repo and continue limited development of Tesseract.
What do I mean by limited?
- By and large, it'll be in maintenance mode only.
- I'm no longer spending time here on the platform (this announcement notwithstanding). This means I will not notice annoyances and bugs like I used to. Any bug/annoyance must be user-reported in detail on Github.
- Mod tooling will likely not see any changes except maybe bugfixes. I have stepped down as mod in all communities and self-destructed my instance, so there is no longer any way for me to test privileged API calls.
- There will probably never be support for Lemmy 1.0 or anything beyond the current 0.19.x API
- Piefed support is still up in the air; if/when Piefed support happens, it will be in place of Lemmy and not concurrent with.
- The Matrix rooms ~~and support/announcement community~~ are not coming back. All bugs, questions, etc will need to be submitted via Github. New versions will not be announced other than in the "Releases" list on Github
- ~~The unlocked, hosted instance formerly at "tesseract.dubvee.org" will not be coming back; you will need to self-host or ask your instance admin(s) to offer it as an alternative UI.~~
- I'm more likely to remove features and fine tune what's left than add anything new.
- I am taking a more opinionated approach to options, settings, etc. The codebase has become a fustercluck, so some options are likely on the chopping block in favor of "this is just how it is"
1.4.42 is in development.
The hero lives on!
