Does anyone know why NewPipe x Sponsorblock was archived?

I stumbled on the repo today and I noticed it was archived. Will the fork be abandoned?

EDIT: Thanks guys, I moved to Tubular.

I believe the dev rebranded the app and started a new fork

There was some thing about NewPipe not liking that they used the NewPipe name in the app name and a logo that resembled a bit too much. The NewPipe x Sponsorblock dev decided to rebrand to Tubular and everything is as you expect it otherwise.

Unfortunately I don't have time to find the issue right now, but it was discussed somewhere in their repo.

I installed Tubular today. It's a fork of NewPipe with SponsorBlock. Is it the same thing or a different fork?

It's from the same dev. You could see it as the natural evolution of newpipe. So far the only difference it's the possibility to submit sponsorblock segments with tubular.

I believe it also added back the dislike counter.

I've been using Libretube and kept Newpipe as a backup. I'll check this Tubular. Thanks for sharing
