I don't feel like working on megapixels anymore
@martijnbraam What makes you feel that way, if you don't mind explaining?
@emersion it's a horrible stack to work with, especially since the competition owns the kernel side. All while everyone just wants to use libcamera anyway. I have not booted a Linux phone in ages and have no use-case for it anymore.
For the last six months I've basically been messing with software nobody really wants for a community that doesn't care.
@emersion it wouldn't be such a problem if it wasn't so incredibly hard to develop.
@martijnbraam
I was inspired by your Megapixels work and wrote a semi-working camera app for PP in Rust. The whole camera mess is really horrible to work with and I'd expect it was much harder for you who didn't have you whom to copy from. 
Got a basic photo app working with built-in debayering and jpeg saving and then PPP didn't fucking work at all and I gave up.
Thanks for the good work. Megapixels had a good run 
Christophe Herbet the libcamera project is the means to protect the existence of proprietary drivers...nothing to do with free software
@martijnbraam Likely won't matter much but there are people following megapixel's development with interest (including me).
@agx @martijnbraam Plus the background information on how megapixels' features were implemented and the process of getting there have been really useful.
Not that I would want to encourage you to work on something that you're not motivated to work on, but just adding to the voice that says that there's been value in it.
