Status of the project

[jae1911]

As you may have noticed, the last commit on this repository was on 2023/17/01, well-over a full year ago.
The Solo1 repository is even worse as the last commit was on 2022/03/23 which will be almost two years ago.

So far, Solokeys has received zero updates over the last years despite still being purchasable from the official website.
The blog's last post was back in June 2023, teasing a "more focused update on firmware in the next few weeks." (archived on archive.org) which, of course, never happened (archive of blog on archive.org).

Also putting the 5831 Kickstarter backers, and 2669 Indiegogo backers in the dark, closing both campaigns, with some people even still waiting for their keys.

So far, there's been attempts at contact via Matrix and e-mail which all failed, so I am putting this on a very public place that hopefully more people will see.

So, what's going on?
Did you just run out of money to effectively maintain the project?
If so, why not do an announcement?
Why stay silent for so long?
