Still shipping every week. Upstream mostly isn't.
A factual comparison of this fork's maintenance activity against upstream beautiful-mermaid — commit recency, issue and PR throughput, and bugs fixed here that are still open upstream. Every number below is pulled straight from each repo's GitHub API, not hand-tallied.
The numbers, side by side.
Same metrics, same source, no cherry-picking — this fork simply moves and upstream mostly doesn't.
