Somehow if something didn't have a commit in the past 2 weeks and/or it wasn't top HN for a few weeks, it is dead. Might be if you are resume grifting, however if you just need something that works and is stable, there are many things that have this. We use many packages that have not have updates outside security for years: they don't need updates as they just work. I prefer it that way; updates just to show updates/commits is very lame and somehow a very javascript and open source investor community thing; 'must show progress, let's just change shit that doesn't need changing and break things every minor release for no reason at all!'. But then it is 'not dead' somehow; for me reading a changelog with breaking api changes that don't actually bring new functionality is a good reason never to touch it.
