Phabricator is a completely open source and free web development toolkit (competing with tools like azure.devops, atlassian, GitLab) from Facebook and backed by former FB developer Evan Priestley over the years.
A week ago, Evan, left alone (judging by the history of commits over the past year ), announced the end of further support for the product.

There are developers who still remember and note its stability, simplicity and convenience. It is a pity that such a promising tool was not in demand, but this is an opensource world and there is still hope that there will be enthusiasts who will put it on its feet.
