Concerned re updates

LoveGrapheneOS100

Firstly, as my name suggests, I love this ROM. Its the best of both worlds, being able to use Google play store apps when I need to, but also being able to turn them off and have privacy without constant tracking by using FOSS apps. So a major thank you for that.

My concern lies with the lack of updates this month, usually its 8-10 updates each month and this month has only 4. Is there a shortage of developers or have some quit (I have read about swatting etc recently). I just fear that with these online and offline attacks, that developers will leave.

If there are really issues with lack of staff please come out and let us know in the community. I have not donated but I can 100% sure if the project was going to end without more donations ..then I absolute would donate to keep this amazing ROM.

Thanks, you all have done amazing work

Quantity != quality.

What kind of a weird attitude is that? Either you donate or you don't.
I can "100% sure" it will be doing well with or without you.

The quantity of updates is not a good metric to rely on. What we're working on is often subject to the current circumstances at hand, a good example of this is upgrading our building tools to make sure we can continue smoothly even with device trees missing moving forward. Putting in effort into this doesn't result in any flashy releases but is of utmost importance. Android 16 QPR1 is around the corner and so is the Pixel 10 series, that will obviously take up a lot of resources.

The swatting attacks happened a while ago but we still feel the repercussions.

There is nothing new to report. Our lead developer is still conscripted which is obviously less than ideal, but at least they're no longer at risk of being sent to the front lines.
