Ferdi
Ferdi is a desktop app that helps you organize how you use your favourite apps by combining them into one application. It is based on Franz - a software already used by thousands of people - with the difference that Ferdi gives you many...
The maintainer has announced on Twitter that he's discontinuing the project: https://twitter.com/getferdi/status/1535575777323978752
Ferdi developers have decided to hide the issue tracker behind a paywall (you need to be a $9/month sponsor to see it), which is not really a good sign for an open source project. They first said it was because the issue tracker might leak private data, but they later admitted on Twitter that it was just a lie… More information here https://www.reddit.com/r/getferdi/comments/s511gn/what_happened_to_github_issues_for_ferdi/ and here https://getferdi.com/faq/why-the-issue-tracker-was-disabled/

After a few months of using Station, which was too slow, I started using Ferdi which is considerably faster and usable instead!
The dev behind this app went downhill quickly. Something is wrong when they suddenly close down issues/feedback and make all other methods of communication inaccessible. I don't know where I'm going to go after this, but I'm going as quickly as I can.
Thanks for potentially saving our data. What happened cannot be denied and we should flag Ferdi as risky project from now on. Somehow it seems that all the projects in that area are kinda doomed to be plagued by something.

The project was ended by the developer (even if the website is still online). The open source community is committed to continue the development with a fork called Ferdium https://ferdium.org/
All the links are live, I just checked April, 21, 2022 and the last activity in the github repos was 18 hours ago.
The most of apps work fine using ferdi! I like that I can use my protonmail there. But google drive just open another window and google calendar view is so... 90's.
Something wrong happened with this app.
It's maintainer kinda gone rouge.
He blocked its social media, disabled issues in github etc.
In my opinion, it cannot be trusted anymore.
