#2Hadn’t heard of Angie before, but looks like it’s developed by at least one of the folks who previously worked on nginx, specifically https://www.nginx.com/people/valentin-bartenev/.
There’s a few of these forks popping up, including https://freenginx.org (see: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2024/02/nginx...).
Not sure if this is a good thing, can’t help but feel it’d be better to consolidate these efforts.

Valentin, Ruslan and Vladimir currently are working on Angie.
Igor actually doesn't contribute to nginx since 2012... there are only few small commits after these dates, most of his contributions are between 2002 and 2012.
Maxim now works on freenginx alone. And here is a response from an Angie developer about consolidation with freenginx: https://github.com/webserver-llc/angie/issues/74 - why it won't happen.
