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.

I never understood the "when it's ready" excuse. It's only not ready when it contains stolen code, otherwise as unstable as the application may be, the code is ready for release.

So much this! If people are worried about contributions arriving before things are cleaned, then just put a huge ass headline on the README saying:

CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING PULL REQUESTS

pls and thank you

Kbin didn't haven't an API so they were using screen scrapers. I assumed they were waiting for a proper API rollout. But who knows now.

Yeah, they apparently used scrapers for a while, but it's obviously not a very performant way to do things. Artemis Camp was launched with an upstream branch that introduced API work, and the app was adjusted to use that as a playground.

Right? Like, my app is definitely not ready yet its source code is available for all to see. And since I'm currently inactive, you could even fork it and get a bigger following than me if you wanted to.

These people just think too highly of themselves.
