Flood Project Dead > Move to Jesec's New Highly-Active Fork of Flood! #889
Description
The awesome Flood can now be considered abandoned :( It's last release was over a year ago (in fact; no commits at all), & unfortunately its author has become unresponsive for a long time.
Fortunately it has been forked and development resumed in-force - this fork can now be considered the official Flood going forward, with very active development & a serious roadmap. It now has a proper thought-out API, along with a test suite :D
Some details / a comparison;

All things considered, it is time to move on to jesec's fork. I've been using it for a while - it is excellent! Works extremely well, and high performance. It has very active development, and a serious roadmap :D
Thanks to everyone who has worked on bringing Flood-UI to where it is, and esp. to John Furrow (jfurrow) for giving birth to this awesome project - it has served us well.
(NOTE; I had initially created this issue on the Remote Torrent Adder Chrome Extension HERE)
