I see why you think it might be dead, given that it stays quiet in the background and gets out of your way (as opposed to Medium for example), but that's the whole point of Svbtle.

Svbtle puts the content first - the content is the end game, where as Medium puts itself first; the Medium brand itself is put first; the content is just an afterthought.

I think OP was more pointing out that, at least from the outside, the product and its features appear unchanged from several years ago.

I tried Svbtle myself, and while I like the product aesthetically and conceptually, customization features that I really wanted like adding custom tracker tags just weren't there yet. I chose to keep using Ghost for now.
