Move Project to unmaintained status #80

Dear users of The Composable Navigator, Unfortunately, I must inform you that I will no longer continue to maintain this project. This has several reasons, first of all taking care of my mental health.

Over the last year, like many of you, I have been working from home and the boundaries of work and life have blurred over time. This led to my mind not being able to shut down, even after I closed the lid of my laptop in the evening. While changing jobs in May last year has definitely improved the situation, I noticed that being the single maintainer of an open source project created a lot of extra pressure to deliver and perform with an invisible set of eyes watching. This project is one of the few reasons I developed a minor case of burnout and fell into a depression over the course of the year.

To take back my life and enjoy every second of it, I have taken some steps to reduce the amount of stress I am exposed to and part of these steps is stepping back as a maintainer of this project. This allows me to let go of the negative feelings attached to it.

I am grateful that so many of you have used or at least tried this framework. There are not many alternatives out there, but I would recommend checking out Stinsen (rundfunk47/stinsen: Coordinators in SwiftUI. Simple, powerful and elegant.) and the PointFree episodes on navigation in SwiftUI.

Have a great 2022 and stay safe. If you ever feel like you’re running out of energy and that nothing in life has a purpose, get help and talk to people. Life is way too precious to be miserable.

Hey Daniel. Thanks for being so open about it. Taking care of yourself is what's most important though often hard enough to do sometimes. Take good care and see you

Thank you for explaining the situation so openly. I'm glad to hear you're feeling better. Take care and have a great year :)

Daniel, thanks for taking care of yourself and for giving this project a decisive send-off rather than letting it wither on the vine. And thank you for the help over the last few months! ❤️
