#2Sadly late 2021 the original dev passed away. Someone has taken over stewardship of the project but it is currently moving slowly and they are seeking more contributors (javascript skills are a plus).
He was a bit of a hn user and seemed good natured and pleasant. Though I didn't know him I was sad to hear he'd passed both as a Redirector user and a fan of good people doing good things. I know he'd mentioned being happy to get recognition on here. https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=einaregilsson
I really enjoyed the original devs write up on creating an easter egg specifically targeting Mark Hamills avatar in game. https://einaregilsson.com/an-easter-egg-for-one-user-luke-sk... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30715746

#4I use it all the time, pretty handy. Sadly, as people mentioned the original developer passed away and the community needs help, especially to port to manifest V3.

Curious, what are you using it for? Do you have a few examples?

For instance, I use to:
redirect new reddit site to old.reddit.com
I keep a blog on wordpress.com, but I really dislike their new blog admin interface, but the interface one can still be accessed , so I redirect to there to edit my posts on the old interface
I use some alternative front-ends, like imginn.com, which is alternative front-end to instagram, so I set to redirect links there.
This sort of thing.
