Mainly because I do not use a bar myself anymore. + +There are also technical difficulties, caused by the fact that yambar +was initially X11, and only later was Wayland support added. + +This means I have to maintain a backend (X11) I have not used myself +in many years, as well as trying to work around technical limitations +imposed by the way both X11 and Wayland is supported, As my own use of +a bar has dwindled, the will to refactor and improve the backends has +disappeared. + +Yambar has seen a lot of contributions, for which I am very +grateful. I hope that means someone is willing to pick up where I left +of, and continue working on yambar. If not, we at least had a good +run; the first commit was in late 2018, roughly 6½ years ago! + + [![Packaging status](https://repology.org/badge/vertical-allrepos/yambar.svg?columns=4)](https://repology.org/project/yambar/versions)
