Consider publishing a successor, like RamonUnch's fork #124

Stefan, thanks for the great utility! After all the hangs (apparently related to suspend-resume), stopped using it and moved on. But I just rediscovered the love with Ramon's fork, which took out the injection functionality but fixed several of the nagging long-term problems with Windows 10.

If you're done with the project, you could give your legacy new life by listing one or two of your favorite forks at the top of the README.

Just hit this while attempting to switch over to Ramon's fork. https://github.com/RamonUnch/AltDrag/issues/42

Sorry for not replying to this issue when it was opened, but basically I will not endorse anything since I don't personally know any of the people who have forked AltDrag, and I can not vouch for their safety/security.

I wouldn't be surprised if the issue that @rubin110 hit is a false positive, but I also don't want to funnel all of my users to another person (was anyone else here affected by https://github.com/greatsuspender/thegreatsuspender/issues/1263?).

I'm perfectly fine with forks, in fact I even want to encourage it. I'd even consider having an official discussion issue where people can advertise their own fork (maybe I'll open that today). I encourage diversity and choice, which is why I have always had a list of other similar programs on the website (this should probably be moved to a GitHub issue for easier discussion and so that other people can share tools that they find).

So the current state of the official AltDrag may suck a bit. Sorry about that, but until I can allocate time to fix it, that's kinda how it is. I started AltDrag in 2008 when I was in school, and now I have a job and a lot of other things going on. Not to mention, I use Windows a whole lot less these days. I am sure many of you also don't have enough time to work on everything you want to, so I hope you understand. :)

It took me a while, but I just enabled the Discussion tab and I opened #127 and #128 to kick it off.
