Is atuin development still healthy?

[lentil-waffle]

In January 2024, Ellie wrote I quit my job to work full time on my open source project.

I was expecting atuin development to take off. But there've been far fewer major releases in 2024 (1) than in 2023 (5). The commit rate from Ellie has been unchanged, except for a significant drop-off in the last 6 months.

This isn't meant to be a complaint, just an observation that the visible activity doesn't match up with that blog post. It leaves me asking two questions:

1. Are you OK, @ellie? I hope you're not burning out. Going full-time open source isn't easy.
2. Is some development happening outside of the public GitHub repository? One possibly unfounded fear I have is that pressure to monetize atuin might affect its direction (eg, switching to open-core with paid-for features, leaving the core unloved).

Hope this doesn't come across the wrong way. Thanks for atuin!

Hey!

So I'm actually writing a follow up that should be out ~next week or so.

tldr

1. I'm fine, thank you for asking :) been focusing on a few things!
2. Lots of development going into atuin desktop at the moment. It's currently closed source while we're working on it, but will be open in the future.
