> **I recommend you to checkout [Pingvin Share X](https://github.com/smp46/pingvin-share-x), a well-maintained fork as of May 2026.**
>
> After much consideration, I've chosen to focus my limited time and energy on my other project, [Pocket ID](https://github.com/pocket-id/pocket-id). As a solo developer, I've found it difficult to actively maintain multiple open source projects with the care and attention they deserve.

> Thanks to all the contributors and users who have supported Pingvin Share over the years :)
