This project activity is low, and I'm wondering if it is defunct?

Seems so,

Per @louischatriot in https://github.com/louischatriot/nedb/issues/492#issuecomment-284047902:

NeDB is still maintained for bugfixes, and bugfixes only, as I am now satisfied by the feature set and flexibility to build upon NeDB (i.e. I see low to negative value in expanding the core feature set vs letting it be done by developers).

Personally, though, I would say that isn't really true anymore either as there are a good number of bugs addressed in PRs that have not yet been reviewed.

P.S. As such, a number of forks/spinoffs of NeDB have occurred, including:

nedb-core -- which already seems to be abandoned, IMHO
NestDB -- mine, which I am hoping to publish a first v2.x release of relatively soon that will maintain API compatibility with NeDB. Expecting to break that compatibility in the future with a v3.x release.
TeDB -- complete rewrite in TypeScript with a totally different API and mindset

It's also worth considering @martinsookael's enlightened comment from https://github.com/louischatriot/nedb/issues/492#issuecomment-315596535:

As Javascript is poised with having very little dependencies that are considered "ready", I think it's refreshing to see a project that has reached a level where it's stable, with it's minuses and plusses.

I'm using it in several projects, and it works precisely as advertised in the specs. Hey at least it has specs!

Hey @JamesMGreene , long time no see! I'm curious - what do you use the nedb for? :) We are using it to mock minimongo meteor unit/integration tests. :)
