The End of Atom
atom logo with setting sun
Today GitHub announced it will archive Atom and all projects under the
Atom organization for an official sunset on December 15, 2022.
Why?
Development on Atom has been slowing for a while now. We see the
effects of that in unresolved bugs. For example, atom/atom#25426 which
prevents installing plugins including WakaTime. The bottom line is other
editors have become more popular and the void that Atom once filled
has disappeared.
What's next?
You can continue using Atom until December 15, 2022 and some things
may still work, but consider switching as soon as possible to another
supported editor. We recommend VS Code since it will feel the most
comfortable when making the transition from Atom.
This email is also an article on the WakaTime blog and open source on
GitHub. Feel free to open a PR
