I couldn't find any reason they're winding down. I wonder why? Was this planned? Battlefield Fatigue? I've used it before, had no real complaints. It fit the use case at the time.

    It's there on the readme: https://hacdias.com/2026/07/28/filebrowser/

    The project needs a rewrite from scratch, but the author had enough.

    File Browser would need to be rewritten from the ground up, with security and a good API in mind, neither of which was on my mind when I was 15.

    Ok, fair enough. I hope someone rewrites it, though.

    I remember reading earlier this year that the project was essentially "complete" and would only get security updates.

    But like he says: "people keep making PRs for new features. Features that I do really think would benefit the project."

    I really struggle with folks' sense of gratitude sometimes. Like there's so many people making cool things for us... for free... When they could be doing the same work for money.

    But yeah, sucks nobody could really keep the project up and secure. I'm not looking for a fork that will add anything to the project.

    I'll read some of the bug tickets to see what the current state is like. Figured this thing could just work indefinitely without much maintenance... its so simple?

    This is 100% off topic but I just realised username is ”I R mad lad” and not ”Irma Dlad”.

    I read "I R Madlad" in the style of "I R Baboon".

    You'll have to take my word for it, but I am pantslessly dancing in victory.

    I'll....take your word for it. I'm good. For some reason, in my head, flashed a Blazing Saddles quote:

    Okay, Jim, since you are my guest and I am your host, what are your pleasures? What do you like to do?

    Oh, I don't know. Play chess...screw.

    Well let's play chess.
