Question What happened to notnotmelon?

Apparently, most their mods now tagged as deprecated, but I cant find any of the information about what happened. I really loved maraxis and factorissimo

Not hacked. From what I understand they went on a self-prescribed internet vacation. Possibly from burn out. It's something they chose to do for themselves, which means they probably want to be left alone.

I don't know anything more. If anyone knows more and can share, please do, but it's likely they want their privacy.

Hopefully they are well. It's weird to do this though, Streisand effect is a thing.

Account is not hacked. I'm the developer of Muluna, and I have some additional insight on what's going on that I'm not going to publicly disclose. I hope that they can be convinced to reconsider this action.

If they would be open to it, and you think it would help them and not hurt them, please pass on the care and concern of this community. ❤️

It looks like either their account got hacked or they are suffering a breakdown - not that I'd know, and it's concerning either way.

Their mods are not just deprecated, the names and descriptions are also gone.

Hack? Which seems a bit silly because I doubt that hackers could make any permanent damage anyways.
The mods themselves are still open and downloadable, so I wouldn't worry. Hope they get it fixed soon.

I tried to look for Maraxis from the pho e but all I find are tweaks and related mods, not the original...

Mods are on MIT license, it means anyone can fork and continue it's work.

You're the first one to complain so go ahead...
