It seems that the dev burned out.

That was supposedly the best front-end we had, right? Sad to hear--I hope I can become good enough to help revive projects like this.
On a sidenote, what other frontends are to be used in the meantime? I'm hoping one of the few is still being maintained somewhat

Not to advertise, but you could try Photon. It's what Tesseract was forked from wayyy back as me and the tesseract dev's philosophies split.

It's more opinionated, and features are carefully organized compared to Tesseract where plenty of shortcuts and links are given (which isn't bad at all, just targets different preferences).

Photon is solid and nice

If you’re on desktop, Alexandrite is great. The 2-column view really maximizes screen real estate.

Is the dev of Alexandrite even active anymore? The last commit was 5 months ago.

[–] Nora@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

i hope so, alexandrite is what I've used for awhile now and I quite love it.

[–] asudox@lemmy.asudox.dev 1 points 1 day ago

Yeah. I really love the UI. I just wish it had more features.

best? i dunno about that. it was an option, tho.

i prefer Photon, or just the default.
