I was a little bit surprised about the news I came across this morning, but it seems, that the founder of Reticulum stepped back in december 2025.

So, I guess we have to pay respect and say 'thank you' to markquist for his relentless work and continue on.

As far as I can see, some efforts have been made to create a fork on Codeberg by SkyGuy:

SkyGuy mentions:

I plan on fixing bugs and re-factoring to improve maintainability and, of course, merging great, non-AI contributions!

Even though I'm a little bit sad about markquists decision, this should be understood as a chance to continue his great work. A repo on Codeberg is also definitely nice to see!

Maybe also interesting:
