Having little activity is not inherently a bad thing. Some software doesn't have to be constantly patched.

Apart from that, an impressive little network multiplayer RTS. It badly needs a maintainer but the project is basically complete. To be blunt, I'd do it myself but my skills are novice. A Debian maintainer once applied a small patch but that's it in over a decade.

Firstly, I don't know what is your definition of "significant improvement". Secondly you're saying that no significant improvement means it's "abandoned". Either you don't know what you're saying or you have shit definitions for words.

What's shit is your capability for reading.
<from the perspective of commercial software
If it was a commercial software it would be improved significantly faster because people's livelihoods depend on making it good. It wouldn't be stuck for an eternity in meh land where you can just laze around and think about maybe doing something one of these days, since cheapskates will use it anyway just because it's free. If all you do is add a bandaid onto the rotting corpse of incomplete shit every 5 months then you might as well consider the development to be dead.

Bomi, the only Linux video player to this day that isn't absolute flaming liquid dogshit:
https://bomi-player.github.io/
On a related note, MPC-QT, which had a chance to become something great:
https://web.archive.org/web/20190528000823/https://github.com/cmdrkotori/mpc-qt
AutoApt:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutoApt
Which completely automated the process of installing dependencies for uncompiled software, by using their makefile to query the package manager.
CheckInstall:
https://asic-linux.com.mx/~izto/checkinstall/
Which automatically installs software compiled from source into a local package that can be easily uninstalled using the package manager.
And AutoDeb:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutoDeb
Which combines the functionality of the two.

Isn't Bomi just a fancy-er repackaged version of MPV? (which i use now) I might try it out since MPV starts to freeze everything once in a while, other then that; it's a great player.

It's the same shortcuts as the other vi-style browsers afaik, I don't use any of them so there could some variations.
The browser is interesting but it was discontinued, like a bunch of other browsers, due to security issues.
>xombrero depended on an old version of WebKit which had multiple security vulnerabilities, and a port to a modern version of WebKit would be difficult.[16][2] Due to these issues,[3] OpenBSD removed xombrero from its ports tree on 1 February 2017

Bomi was two things. On the one hand, Bomi was an un-broken fork of MPV, which is an improved fork of MPlayer, which is basically a more complete fork of ffmpeg's ffplay. On the other hand, Bomi was the only GUI for a *N*X media player that wasn't written as an outdated afterthought by perverted psychopaths.

I have one that is applicable to a large number of old computer towers I've had. It's the Connexnet "Linuxant" Project, which was last updated for Linux 2.0. Connexnet was a brand of El Cheapo PCI (and integrated) Modems that shipped with many low-end home PCs from the late 1990's to the early 2010's. The makefile is dependent on Kernel 2.0 and fails to install on anything else. I never bothered to try to fix it, and just got a USB or Serial Modem.
