What is the Latest With SodiumSuite?

I haven't seen many posts about SodiumSuite. The most recent blog post is dated from Aug 2017.

Ironically development has just started picking up a ton again in the past 2 weeks! We've been a little quiet due to multiple members of our development team having some crisis level turn of events in their lives, that being said we're full steam ahead at the moment and have actually just brought someone else on to aid on some of the smaller pieces! There actually will be post in the very near future about some renovations taking place in regards to the helpdesk, cough cough reporting cough cough. Etc.

Sweet, very much looking forward SS's development!

I just added an agent (first one) using the install script given in the Agent Installer tab. It's been 45 minutes and it is not showing up as an available agent. Is there something I am missing?

Yes. The project is dead.

Wait, you're serious? I thought there was some stuff going on with this as of a couple months ago.
Bummer.

My opinion only. I am not an employee or member of the development team. Just an informed opinion from knowing who was involved with the project, where those people have been in the last 12 months, and where those people are now.

No, it is not dead. But it is on hold while the team works on some other software.
Actually had talks about bringing in more people to the Sodium team 72 hours ago.

Sodium has no direct revenue stream, it's just a free system. The current situation is attempting to get a profit bearing product (that is much smaller) out the door with the hopes of it funding a lot more Sodium work much faster.

It has not been worked on or active. It is ddead until resurrected.

@JaredBusch It's been a while since I heard that song. Thanks, it is now stuck in my head haha.

In a high level D&D campaign I ran, it became common when the psionicist became powerful enough to use some Dark SUn power that is basically a permanent Dominate.

It made me think of the Sha Na Na cover of the Little Anthony and the Imperials song Tears on my Pillow and now that is stuck in my head instead.
This version sucks but it's the best I could find that's closest to what I'm talking about:

I hate to necropost, but I'm wondering how the project is doing right now? The site is up, but didn't see any updates in 2 years..

I think it went the way of many Google products.

No, just in a total rewrite.

Interesting, why rewrite and what is it being ported to now?

The first iteration was very much a proof of concept, that we feel was very successful (maybe not the GUI, but the back end at least.) But it was based on quick and dirty tech like Meteor and MongoDB which has a license we can no longer use.
So the new rewrite is to use a wide column DB, ScyllaDB that you might have heard of, and PHP 7.x and our own abstraction layers, with the ability to scale much, much bigger. And now a focus on discrete functional completeness stage by stage, rather than a broad stroke tech preview. So the hope is a functional helpdesk out the door long before other functions are added in, for example. And a very real consideration that Salt may not be used under the hood at all, or only temporarily, as more power and functionality is desired with more control.
