Hey! I'm James, the original creator. Yeah, I tried to stay involved but over time I had to accept that my life right now just doesn't allow time to be very involved. We've had some incredible maintainers step up and their doing an amazing job stewarding the project along.

I'm long-overdue to check in with the maintainers and write some content about the transition. I was also intending to shutdown the hosted version late summer and hand over actualbdget.com to the open-source community. My goal is to do this by end of year.

Overall, I wish my life weren't so busy in some ways, but it's busy with really good and fulfilling things. The transition was a little rough for me (hard to give control away of something I worked so hard on) but it's turned out surprisingly good

I have not tried out Actual to this day, but I can imagine how you felt.

Thanks for your nice gesture to hand your project out to the open source community.

I will take a look, probably spin it up and contribute back.

You're not an uncool guy, OC
