totally echo your sentiment. I love Dendron a lot and I'd definitely love to see it live on in a new way. It could be possible to organise a community-led approach to development if a few techies are able to volunteer. A grassroots/community movement could even use a platform like opencollective (https://opencollective.com/) to collect donations which could either be paid back to the dendron team to their continued support/code reviews or to members of the community as a bounty for developing specific features. We could even do community led greenhouse talks for people like @bitNomad to speak at! I am a software dev with experience of contributing to open source projects and typescript and VSCode plugin dev (I actually built a small plugin for syncing hypothes.is annotations with VSCode/Dendron). I'd be interested in taking part in such an initiative.

no rush, I am still finding creative ways for every service from property management to "name your hobby" middlemen to treat my support request or my inquiry to detail how much money I am ready to part with like I ran over their dog after tail-gaiting them home
