@kelyvin, I found OrangeDragon/android-messages-desktop, a fork of chrisknepper/android-messages-desktop. It seems android-messages-desktop
started around the same time as you did: acaafeb on 6/23/2018 and chrisknepper/android-messages-desktop@793f0e3 on 6/21/2018. The latter project is still being actively maintained, with the latest commit as recently as a week ago.
It's always difficult when two projects that offer identical functionality are being developed independently. Both of you deserve massive respect for bringing this to the community. However, if you're looking for someone else to carry the work, perhaps you would like to defer to @OrangeDrangon (or he takes over this). Sadly, I had a few issues using this project, such as the old build warning and inability to sign into Google Fi. android-messages-desktop
does work in those regards and integrates with the taskbar without issue (at least in my usage).
I wouldn't normally recommend a fellow developer to deprecate their own project, especially not after spending years on it, but if you're looking to move on and want to ensure the community is in good hands, perhaps it would be more productive to focus community efforts towards one project instead.

There is no reason for the packages not to coexist but feel free to send users my way if you want to. I try to keep everything working :)

Thanks @Levi-Lesches for your very thoughtful message and hi @OrangeDrangon! I actually have no problem directing the community over to you.
The original intention of this project was to be a "utility app" to not only help prove out a concept, but also provide some quick value. I did not expect this project to be as popular as it did and like many other open-sourced projects, there is appetite for more and more features (understandably so). I can't keep up with this, but since your project is not only actively maintained, but built on a more robust ecosystem, I would be more than happy to also promote your project and help usher people in your direction.
With that said, I will still keep this project around to support the folks who may still be using it (if they haven't already left), but I will start the process on funneling folks over.
