It seems that OLW is abandoned. No updates and no solutions to problems.

It is most certainly not. The GitHub is still active and they still merge pull requests. Development is very slow but not abandoned.

It most certainly is, Jake. The last version was released on May 23, 2017. It's 0.6.2.0.

I just tried using this to access a Google Blogger account - Google has disabled the oauth process, which makes the client unusable. It still works on one of my Worpress accounts, but I'd agree, the app is dead.
