What happened to Toybox?

It looks like Toybox has been decommissioned (site down, GitHub 404s) β€” is that fair to say? It also appears that @DidierMalenfant hasn't been active in the forums in a while. Apologies if I missed an announcement about it somewhere, but I couldn't find anything about it and just noticed when I went to make some updates to utilities I'd added through it, and I'm wondering if I should remove docs related to it from my repos. I really enjoyed using it!

I don’t remember any announcements, but repo moved to codeberg: DidierMalenfant/toybox.py: A Lua, C and asset dependency manager for the Playdate SDK. - Codeberg.org

Aha, thanks! I had remembered (perhaps wrongly) that toybox was self-updating, so I didn't realize there was a newer version. The one I had, of course, pointed to the outdated repo (which, come to think of it, would probably be why self-updating didn't work).

Anyway, I appreciate the help, and I'm glad to see the project is still alive.

It looks like this project is also gone from codeberg... :frowning_face: Does anyone have any historical version? I'd be willing to fork it and continue development.

Wow! Thank you so much! I've downloaded it and I'll study it a bit to see how maintainable it is.
