The repository for the previously private submodule is still called Floorp-private-components, though it's public.

Ablaze was high school students making random hobby projects. This one got popular and it has obviously had a negative effect on the dev (who is likely in university by now). Sounds like they are also feeling a sense of responsibility for things they aren't responsible for.

It also sounds like they don’t really understand open source.

Their Twitter makes it seem like they aren’t having much fun.
