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.

Oh no, nobody could have seen this coming… 🙄 And people kept downvoting me when I scoff at a release of closed source Lemmy/Mastodon/… clients.
For all intents and purposes, the dev did state their intentions on releasing the code “when it’s ready”, and was super active in working on it. Not releasing, and relying on one server running a specific upstream branch were definitely mistakes, 100%. But, I think the dev legitimately believed they would hit that target, which was a prerequisite for releasing.
