Is this repo still maintained?

I had the idea to use an AST-based tool for visually impaired coders, and found out that the idea was described in a scientific paper "Accessible AST-Based Programming for Visually-Impaired Programmers" which led me here.

But this repo seems unmaintained.

Is there something similar that is in use?

Unfortunately, the repo is not maintained. I have extremely limited cycles for development, and a project this ambitious needs a community to keep it afloat.

CodeMirror 6 (which didn't exist when this project got started) offers some really intriguing ways to offload a lot of the complexity, which would have made this a vastly easier project to begin with. And I firmly believe that transparently integrating this into a widely used library like codemirror is critical to make the web more broadly accessible.

I would be happy to support you if you wanted to take it over, or simply use it for ideas!
