In plain words

This tool helps developers locate actively maintained forks of GitHub repositories they use. When a project becomes inactive or abandoned, forks may offer continued development and updates.

That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
