irmadlad@lemmy.worldI remember reading earlier this year that the project was essentially “complete” and would only get security updates.
But like he says: “people keep making PRs for new features. Features that I do really think would benefit the project.”
I really struggle with folks’ sense of gratitude sometimes. Like there’s so many people making cool things for us… for free… When they could be doing the same work for money.
But yeah, sucks nobody could really keep the project up and secure. I’m not looking for a fork that will add anything to the project.
I’ll read some of the bug tickets to see what the current state is like. Figured this thing could just work indefinitely without much maintenance… its so simple?

It’s there on the readme: hacdias.com/2026/07/28/filebrowser/
The project needs a rewrite from scratch, but the author had enough.

Ok, fair enough. I hope someone rewrites it, though.
