Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/open-webui/desktop/issues/270

After a brief period of quick updates being released between April and May since the inception of the desktop app project, the development came to an abrupt end right after, and there haven't been any further commits since the 6th of May.

What happened?

Yes, I wonder about that too. Can't install, AppImage link broken. Looks like it's time to move onto the next thing...

I personally don't think it's abandoned but the main guy seems to be spread pretty thin as it looks like he is basically the only one who approves pull requests for the 5 active projects they have going. I could be wrong but I doubt he treats this as his full day job (unless sponsors make it possible). It would be better if there were more people that could go through pull requests and approve them based on the current projects criteria.
