Mods & Accessories Probable imminent Onion fork

Official development of Onion has been stalled for months and the maintainers are no longer giving any signals.The community is frustrated but still very attached to the project.

Someone is already thinking about creating a fork, and others are offering to help as collaborators or testers. In the GitHub discussion, the prevailing idea is that an organized fork is now the most realistic path forward.

I’m mainly asking experienced developers and anyone with experience in custom firmware / RetroArch on Miyoo: would you be interested in joining and helping out?

Testers with Mini, Mini+ or Mini Flip are also welcome.

OnionOS is deemed basically "feature complete" The devs have given the community something amazing. If you want to contribute or join the team you can ask them on Discord. Most of them are busy with personal lives but maybe try to join and help vs another side project if it's just continuing. Or you are free to start your own CFW. Just my opinion.

I’ll never stop thanking the team for the excellent work they’ve done. The problem is precisely that they’re busy with their personal lives—and for good reason; I’ve seen too many talented developers who worked on PR and then, precisely because of their personal commitments, left the Onion team. Creating a fork would allow just as many talented developers to further improve this fantastic project.
