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.

    This is why I never build any of my app ideas. I don’t want people to notice when I wake up one day and decide I don’t want to work on it anymore. Of course people tend to not like my UX ideas so its probably a fear I don’t need to have.

      That’s why I open-source everything I work on, or at least, everything I have permission to. I have one or two projects where I have friends who have contributed a good amount of code but don’t want it public so I respect their wishes and keep it private. Everything else I work on though, it’s open-source.

      If I can’t or won’t continue working on something, maybe someone else can find it useful and continue working on it.

      If your project open source then you can do it, and give it to maintainers or someone else, or let anyone work it. Life can get busy for everyone
