Yes, it is only community driven, there is no fulltime dev working on it. But I've seen someone working on a website refresh.

If that's too slow for you, just edit the website here and make a PR with the info you were looking for: https://github.com/stride3d/stride-website

It's not that it's too slow for me, it's that it isn't my place to do it, despite being a FOSS enthusiast. I don't use the project, have never tried it, and am currently heavily entrenched in Godot and Unreal. Looks very interesting, but switching mid-development won't happen. Furthermore, if it is apparently "dying", it's a self-fulfilling prophecy, sadly.

Rather than encourage me to change it, why don't you? You seem to know a lot more about it than I do for starters. In the time you engaged with me, you could have submitted the PR yourself and thanked me for the feedback. Herein lies why the project likely hasn't caught on—not enough focus on contributing.

My contributions to Stride are on the graphics and rendering side of things.

And as I said, someone is already working on a website refresh.

I'm not sure from what sources your personal assessment comes from, but from what I know about the project, it's incorrect.

Web design and content writing are two quite different things, and the two should be kept apart for optimum results, as has been the case for, well, twenty-plus years at this point with CMS et al, even headless ones.

Here's the source for it apparently dying: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32303373

And this is what I'm saying: I personally don't see the value in contributing to it if people already involved with it who know far more than me, have demonstrated this to me when asking them a question, would rather give me the link to do a PR than do it themselves. All this wasted energy that could have gone into the project. It says it all really, and I don't say that to be snarky, but there's a reason that Godot has exploded in popularity, and that's likely because the community just gets things done instead of discussing things to a fault.
