> I lack the free time at this point in my life to continue to maintain and develop a project of this scale, and the codebase has languished for a little while already.
> I've grown tired of continuously defending my inactivity and decisions against trolls on Twitter, the issue tracker, and elsewhere. It's draining and I don't have the patience or energy to deal with it any longer. These same people expect to impose their short-sighted and non-generalized values and goals on a project for which they have contributed nothing and are not willing to maintain.

Not familiar with this project but would like to thank the author as well as all the other amazing open source contributors in the world for doing something that made/makes the world a better place.
I dream of a day when we have a solution to these problems. Where an engineer can get paid as much as they would at a job to fix those issues people raise. A platform that also allowed creators to block people who are clueless and unkind.
Some day we as a community will figure it out.
