Briar Shifts to Maintenance Mode After Considering a Full Shutdown

Briar Is in Maintenance Mode

After years of struggling with funding and technical hurdles like high battery usage on Android, we nearly shut down Briar. However, strong community support and continued user growth convinced us to keep the project alive in maintenance mode. For now, we are focusing solely on essential security updates and bugfixes while hoping to eventually tackle our longstanding issues.
