So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish

👋 Hey there!
It has been 3 years since eDEX's initial 1.0 release. Since then, 16 updates have been released with the help of 46 contributors, and they have been downloaded about400 000 times (:exploding_head:!).

Last year I opened anissue to gather support (both moral and financial) to fund maintenance, as I was a student with little resources for a project of this size. Thanks to sponsorships and the generous donations of some of you I've been able to keep the project on life support.

This summer I dropped out to become a full-time software eng, and I feel it is time to re-assess the situation.

eDEX-UI will now be archived as I will move on to other projects.

The codebase has been in dire need of a fresh refactoring for some time now, and considering the limited usefulness of the software (I like to think of it as a functional art project), I think this is the best decision to go forward.

I want to thank every person who has ever contributed to, starred, liked, tried out, crashed and bugsquashed eDEX-UI. We had a really good run and lots of fun.

Keep cool ✌️
