What happened to Github? Owner change without any infos?

The GitHub repo was turned private after I took over the development of HTML Forms in May. Private repos are just how I prefer to work, and it’s been my method for developing WordPress plugins going back to the first one I released in 2017.

I discussed this with the previous developer first. He agreed with me that the repo wasn’t active enough to keep public. The www.ads-software.com support forum, and email, should be sufficient.

One thing I did overlook during this change was the code snippets that were available to the public in the repo. So, to help rectify that, I’ve placed all of them on the public knowledge base available on the plugin’s website:

https://htmlformsplugin.com/kb/code-snippets/

Hopefully, when people see this post in the future, I’ll have that resource better organized.

Trust is something you earn with support and releases. So far, I’ve done my best to be active in this forum and put out bug fixes to the plugin. All while trying to make development play nice with my current workflow.

Thanks for getting back and answering my questions.
The link to the snippets will be helpful even though they are not complete
(I remember adding some code on github issues, e.g. hcaptcha, ignoring fields for saving submissions, etc.)

Not only support and releases but also communication and transparency.
Neither the previous owner nor you informed any of the users about the owner change (link).
Plus, if your style is to code in private (which is fine btw), you could have given us this information before making the repo private – some completed issues contain necessary code parts.
