Is EarTrumpet still in active development?

Is EarTrumpet still in active development? I have a few things I want to submit for feature requests, but I won't bother if it's not still being maintained.

I see other recent issues posted, a few with a small bit of discussion, and recent pull requests, but the main branch and the app in the Microsoft store for Windows are still several years old.

hey, from what i can tell development is technically still alive but it has slowed down a lot. most of the recent activity seems to be around translations and not much is actually making it into the main branch or the store version.

there are a couple of newer things sitting in the dev branch but they’ve been there for a while without turning into a proper release, so overall it feels pretty quiet on the feature side.

not trying to self promote or anything but i ended up forking the project and reworking it a bit on my side, mainly design improvements and some core changes to make it feel more up to date.

that said, big respect to EarTrumpet, it’s still a gem and the foundation is really solid, it just feels like development is in a slow phase right now.

Thanks for the tip! I grabbed your version and you've already implemented one of the main features I wanted, and much asked for by multiple submissions in this original repository, the ability to hide apps. As an extension of that, it would be great to be able to hide devices too, which also has multiple issue submissions in this repository. And I just thought of this, possibly reorder devices. I noticed they aren't in the same order in the expanded flyout vs. the Volume Mixer, and neither is in the order I'd prefer.

I have a couple other requests too. I debate submitting them here, or just submitting them on your repository.

@zaphod4254 thanks for the kind words, glad it’s already useful !
The mismatch between the flyout and Volume Mixer order is a bit annoying, and being able to choose your own order would definitely be better, u r right
If you want to post the other requests, feel free to do it here or on my repo. Either is fine with me, but if it’s BetterTrumpet-specific I’d probably keep it on my repo so I can track it more easily.

I'm still here. Sorry folks, I've just had zero free time to work on EarTrumpet. Helping out Microsoft (for free, like an idiot), my jobs, and a few other commitments have been zapping 110% my free time. Let me take a fresh look at my priorities and see where I can fit this in.
