Flood: Flood Project Dead > Move to Jesec's New Highly-Active Fork of Flood!

[KangarooCreativeTeam]

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;

Old Flood (jfurrow's "Flood-UI") (abandoned)

New Flood (jesec fork)

• Github > jesec/flood: A modern web UI for various torrent clients with a Node.js backend and React frontend. [[https://github.com/jesec/flood](https://github.com/jesec/flood)]
• ~2000 commits (~600 in the past few months!)
• Daily commits! > Commits · jesec/flood [[https://github.com/jesec/flood/commits/master](https://github.com/jesec/flood/commits/master)]
• Solid progression > flood/CHANGELOG.md at master · jesec/flood [[https://github.com/jesec/flood/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/jesec/flood/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md)]

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)
