I noticed there haven't been any recent updates — is this project still being maintained? Just checking before deciding whether to use it. Thanks again!

We have been following this project since before COVID and basically nothing has changed still with around 695 outstanding issues and 51 pull requests. Everyone keeps asking if this project is dead, and yes it is so it is time for someone to fork and move this into a real active project. Having a pure C# data store is a great idea (starting at minimum .Net 6 now that we are soon in 10). We lost Realm.db for .Net and now many are looking at libsql but these are not native C#/.Net. Even some simple basic bug fixes every few months would be a start. So who is going to be the hero and fork this to move things forward?

Hi everyone, thank you for your patience and the points raised here.

To answer the main question, the project is not being actively maintained at the moment, simply due to a lack of available time on my end. I understand the frustration with the number of open issues and PRs.

As @ps30 suggested, anyone is absolutely free to fork the project. However, I believe the best path forward would be to revive it together. To that end, I am officially opening up the project to new maintainers and contributors.

If you have an interest in helping steer this project, please comment here. We'd be very happy to have you join the team.
