I made the mistake of installing Starling recently, not realizing how it was made. I contributed a PR to it, wrote a few issues describing some showstopping bugs, and since then there’s been absolutely no activity from the creator.
That’s fine, they are under no obligation to work for free. But I wouldn’t have installed it if I knew it was abandonware.

Seems like your PR was merged by the creator? If you are mad that the creator isn’t doing anything with THEIR OWN project, fork it and fix it yourself… No need to get pissy and make a full complaint post in here about it.

Are there any obvious signs of it being vibe coded that I’m missing? In my experience, projects not being very active, especially small ones by a single person, isn’t anything new that has much to do with LLMs, it was always that way for hobby projects. And it was inactive for only about a month now, with the author replying within one day before that. I have a few hobby projects myself and don’t reserve time every month to work on them or check on their repos.
