GitHub Access Revoked — Again. We're Building Our Own Infrastructure.

2026/02/21

We have once again been banned from GitHub. We are deeply disappointed in GitHub's continued hostile and arbitrary enforcement, which has repeatedly disrupted our ability to serve our users. We do not find their conduct acceptable. Downloads will be unavailable for a period while we address this. Rather than remain dependent on a platform that has proven unreliable and adversarial, we are building our own infrastructure so we can deliver our apps without being at the mercy of third-party gatekeepers. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

Finar and Kilt Join the Rust Roadmap

2026/02/20

We're Sorry — Staying on a Good Old Version

2026/02/19

We are sorry, but we would much rather users have a good experience with an old version than a new update with a terrible experience.

Spotify Support Canceled for Doudou

2026/02/18

Support for Spotify has been discontinued for Doudou due to Spotify's alignment with regressive US political movements and policies. We cannot in good conscience support platforms that enable such ideologies.

GitHub Account Update

2026/02/08

Hello, it's been a while. Although I no longer work here, I still love Openlyst and the project. GitHub recently banned my account—which hosted Openlyst builds—for using the global site in China. I have created a new account and will be fixing the Openlyst builds soon. Goodbye, hope to see you again. — Zhenxi

Upcoming Server Downtime - Relocation Notice
