+## A note on maintenance
+
+This project will never make it past alpha, nor will it receive any bug fixes or new features that do not directly affect me (@trickypr). I am putting my energy towards [a project using a different approach](https://github.com/pulse-browser/experiment). For a rough guide to my reasoning, see [this Mastodon post](https://mas.to/@trickypr/111328440028458478).
