Really sad to read this. sourcetrail helped me to understand a foreign codebase when I started my last job. The ability to navigate who-calls-who and who-implements-who back and forth is invaluable, and the search bar is fantastic. This morning I woke up and fantasized about forking the project to keep it alive, but I understand that the work behind it is too much to keep it as a side project.

If it's a useful and helpful tool (and I assume it is from what you've said), what's the problem? It's not as though the existing tool is suddenly going to stop working.
Do you mean "what's the problem with using the last available package of sourcetrail?"? Nothing, I'm using it. eventually, in some timeframe, the compiled package will stop be installable in a new system, or the unrecognized language features will be too many, which is sad.
