I still support Homey as a product. That is why I follow along and help where it makes sense. My silence is not a lack of interest, and here are a few thoughts from my side 
On abandoned apps.
That is one route for abandoned apps. Open source is another good one, because if the code is open, ownership can be handed over when the original developer stops. One idea of my own is that if Homey Self-Hosted Server (SHS) were open source, it would give more options 
Agreed. For me, Advanced Flows are easier than writing YAML, because the visual layout is so simple My wish is that Homey and the community find the approaches that work well in HA, so equally advanced things can be built in Homey.
For me it is about community, support and contributing, not the brand. The negativity wears people down, and I want to keep contributing.
After six months I still run debug on Zigbee and Matter, and the reason is insight. It was never about pointing fingers. It was about learning and understanding 
I would like to give back what I have learned, and I have an older promise to follow up on. Would people be interested in an online get-together about the community around Homey? People would help each other and share what they have learned, whatever platform they own. Anyone who wants to join is welcome, and I would be glad to have a co-host or two 
Nothing is settled yet, but I would try to find a place where everyone can take part, also those who find English hard. Think of it as an open mic, with live talk, a chat alongside, and topics taken from the forum 
Does something like this already exist that I have missed? If there is interest, the details will follow in its own thread
Regards, Ulrik
