 y'all look at primal 2.0 source code before you shilled it and stuck your nsec in?

well, i dont think it's open source anymore.  what a great set of features eh?  🤡🚑  

https://github.com/orgs/PrimalHQ/repositories 
 We are open sourced fully under MIT license.  
 so why cant i find any commits < 2 months old?  is primal 2.0 this same caching server and apps repositories?  is this the wrong github? 
 https://github.com/PrimalHQ/primal-android-app/commit/28629c8d9b47e3fa2d55aae6a17be80814ccd6c1
? 
 last commits i see are:

primal-web-app - 7mo
primal-caching-service - 4mo
primal-ios-app - 2mo

ah, ok i see Marko saying its just not pushed yet.  why not just develop in the open and use tags/branches?  how can someone run it or collaborate with you otherwise? 
 Web and Android are fully up to date, we're still in the process of committing our iOS. 
 iOS is public as well now, just not merged to the main branch.  
 this is just an observation.

when i see a project go silent on the public repos, and then cut a major release from a closed repo.

i start to consider their code as open in name only, or vaporsource.

it is a code/release pathway that only becomes harder to work with over time as the mainline diverges so much from the sprinkling of source that we get to see.
