Even projects "built by a company" suffer the same fate. The only way to reduce the likelihood of abandonment is to tie a revenue stream directly to it, like customers paying for support or a pro version with additional features

Almost broken on mobile, and my iphone gets really hot...

Which iphone do you use? Also is it safari? It's currently absolutely not optimized for mobile, as most content creation happens on the desktop. We might though at some point.

That's what we're doing: http://www.ory.am/sites/ - although there's obviously never the guarantee that a project is maintained. However, all of our other projects have been maintained for over two years.

Anyways, you're now one library richer, that solves a hard problem and we're committed to making it awesome.

Yeah, I've gotten this response for my framework vs. a competing one from Mozilla. I usually reply "Mine came out a year before theirs and I still work on it all the time, and how 'bout that Shumway?"

Oh, and I almost forgot to say that. The editor is also used at serlo ( http://en.serlo.org/serlo ) which is the largest educational platform for germany with 1 million MAUs. So there's really little chance of this being discontinued over the next 4 years.
