Hello Midstall community,
Over the last five years, building ExpidusOS has been an incredible learning journey-and while we’re not closing that chapter, it’s time to adapt with intention.
Why the Change?
As the sole contributor at Midstall, I’ve worn many hats. While my passion for open source-and for ExpidusOS-remains unwavering, evolving commitments in OSS and tooling have shown me: I simply don’t have the bandwidth to continue development solo.
What Will Continue?
- ExpidusOS isn’t gone. All existing repositories will remain live and open.
- There’s no shared roadmap just yet. When the time is right, I hope to rally contributors or expand the team to revisit it.
What Comes Next
Effective open source ecosystems take more than just code-they need strong tooling and rock-solid SDKs. To build toward that ecosystem sustainably, Midstall Software is pivoting to specialized consulting in:
- SDK design, documentation, and usability
- Cross-platform build systems and toolchains
- Reproducible environments using Nix and related tooling
This shift aligns with our core mission: enabling open, developer-friendly systems engineering.
What This Means for You
- For users and collaborators: Thank you. Midstall remains committed to open source goodness.
- For companies needing SDK help: I’m now opening the door to consult on how your SDKs, toolchains, and dev workflows come together-cleanly, reliably, and open source-first.
Let’s continue building ecosystems that empower developers-together.
