I’m trying to use as much foss apps as I can and sometimes I realise that some of them were not updated for a long time. For example my keyboard is FLorisBoard which is kinda great but the last update was almost 2 years ago so I wonder if it should be considered abandoned and if I should be concerned about security flaws.

Generally speaking, when is the time to consider alternatives to an app when the devs are not clear whether or not the development will continue ?

Thank y’all

    When the app soucre code archived by the user or goes to fdroid archive repo.

    Floris board beta recieves frequent updates. Also we can’t ask for updates when it comes to foss software. The solution is just fork the app ourself as it is foss.
