Checking on the status of opensource audio apps and plugins (previously known to me) is quite the sad sight, quite a lot of them have been abandoned 😔
I am thinking of tagging anything that:
1. has no stable release in 10 years
AND
2. has no single dev commit/change in 5 years
as "abandoned".
Alternatively if the project owner publicly states it is no longer maintained.
The amount of projects that fit into this criteria is not small. And I feel 10 & 5 year thing is quite generous..
@falktx Apps as in editors? ReZound, Sweep, mhWaveEdit, etc.?
@prokoudine well those are in a similar situation too, I think we can count with our hands the amount of maintained open-source audio editors.
I was thinking of more generic terms, for any standalone audio tool (like a synth) for "apps".
I did mention "apps and plugins" on purpose, standalone-only audio tools are not very common, luckily
