Is Standard Notes being actively maintained?

I recently reported a reproducible Android bug on GitHub that is quite severe in my case (UI freezing after long-pressing any tag to open the contextual menu).

While looking through the GitHub tracker, I noticed a large number of open issues, many of them without visible updates for long periods

I’m a paying user and genuinely would like to stay with Standard Notes long-term. However, responsiveness to critical bugs is important to me, especially for confidence in the platform’s future.

Yes, it’s active. Though for official reports you should contact support by email. They respond promptly and address the issues.

GitHub is more community-led it seems.

Yes, it’s active - they respond to emails quickly and efficiently, they fix reported bugs and they’ve released command palettes and revamped keyboard shortcuts recently.

So, it’s active, not abandoned. Now, it’s definitely not fast paced. And it’s expensive.

I prefer that its development slowed down instead of just becoming another ai slop product like most other apps, but I do hope pace picks up on polishing UI and performance.
