Yes. I had a project that now sits at ~600 stars. I've even seen it on /g a few times. I have abandoned it a few years ago due to the pressure and the amount of retards that go "hurr durr I want feature X why is it not implemented yet".
Also I'm hoping people will forget it ever existed or maybe they'll think that I died of COVID or some shit.
Thought about that. I'm unable to verify whether the person has good intentions or not. The abandoned project is still present in many Linux repositories and people keep installing it from github directly. If a malicious actor gains control over the project, they can inject whatever crap they want into it. Distro maintainers might overlook it and shit will hit the fan.
I'd prefer someone to fork it and create a successor project. No luck so far. But yes, overall it's a let-down but I don't care much anymore.

>I'd prefer someone to fork it and create a successor project
This is the way it should be. There is zero difference between doing someone doing this and handing it down to someone apart from the successor not automatically having thousands of users. If whoever is creating the successor is competent and dedicated enough, they soon will have the users. If not they aren't deserving of it.
no and i wont
im extremely high iq and nobody deserves my help
Yes, and I get paid for it.
Yes but only because I'm gay
Yeah, mostly minor stuff for my own convenience.
i have only contributed a couple lines in my life, which i think have been overwritten by now
How do I get into contributing code to open source projects?
Use a piece of open source software, find a flaw, report it/fix it/help fixing it.
yes
After 'const const const' gate, why even bother?

why not just hand it to somebody who can be bothered to maintain it? Bit of a let-down there sir.

/tg/ space station 13 for a few years
I regretful waste of my life in hindsight, but it did get me into programming
No, it's always too much effort to ramp up on the project.
More than I can count and a lot of them I don't even use anymore.
no but i'll open up issues to complain about missing functionality
Yes, mostly stuff that i wrote for myself and then decided to submit later on
eliezer has to drop the fedora and get some new drip
What about a closed source one?
