I've seen several projects like this, where there is a flurry of activity for a few days, maybe a couple of weeks, and then it is abondoned and doesn't see any more updates. Maybe they got bored of it, maybe the code wasn't actually maintanable (which can easily happen with vibed code), maybe they were just trying to get attention and didn't actually care about the project.

Sure, but projects need to start somewhere. You can't go from one user to hundreds+ without first having two users. This is how they're deciding to share it the first time, and that's fine. Use it if you like, don't if you don't. Simple. If they stop maintaining it, then since it's open source and MIT license, you can do what you want with it to fix the issues you have.

Or it is feature complete and doesn't need constant updates?

As long as it is being used daily, I think a project is still alive.

It might have all the features it needs, but I have yet to see any non-trivial project that doesn't have bugs, or need occasional updates due to changes in something it interacts with.
