Status Update - May 2026
I wanted to provide a short update on the current state of Leptos development, so that people have an accurate understanding of where things are currently. **tl:dr;** Leptos is not abandoned but will be lightly maintained going forward. I consider it feature-complete and do not expect to do significant new development in the future. I am open to additional maintainers who want to take a more active role. ### Background I created Leptos as an experiment and personal project, at a time when I was learning Rust and was very interested in using it for web applications. It's been successful for that purpose! It's also been much more popular than I would have expected at that time, in part thanks to the publicity it received very early on from several developers with very large online followings. Working on an open source project that has users is fulfilling, but it can also be draining over time. It's fun to interact with people, but it's tiring to answer the same questions year after year. It's interesting to work on new features and solve big problems, but—especially once a project has reached maturity—it's exhausting to deal with dozens of niche issues. The rise of LLMs and of coding agents has really fundamentally changed the cost-benefit analysis on this for me. Over the last year or so I've found that the volume of meaningful community conversation and engagement has declined significantly. Over the last few weeks I've experienced a new and sad problem first-hand: the

Long-range anti-ship missiles of old are also obsolete, they and their launch problems are also too expensive for their vulnerability.
