I am still using Mitro and I really love it. I am pretty sure their company got acqui-hired by Twitter [0][1].
Sadly, the service might shut down before the end of 2015 because of time/money problems [3].

That's exactly the depressing part I was talking about. It's a fantastic project, which is now open-source, but there doesn't seem to be anyone who would take over and support it longer term. Even though I believe there's a viable business there as well (As an end-user in a small company, we'd be happy to pay a monthly subscription for it, equivalent to or even higher than what we'd pay other solutions out there, e.g. lastpass).
It's fair to tell me "then why don't you contribute / do something instead of complaining?", but as much as I'd like to, it's got lots of moving parts and needs significant time and lots of different skills, or some form of backing to pay for those. Even if it can be turned into a solid business, it will still require resources to support - not just the technology, but marketing etc. So far, I haven't seen anybody picking this up, but I really hope someone will. It will be a great loss to see it die.
However, I can't help but feel a bit depressed by the state of even some of the most common projects, like GPG[0].
Another one that I truly fell in love with its simplicity and beauty -- Mitro[1] -- seems to be dying a slow death[2].
I know it shouldn't reflect on this project, and can only wish for its long-term success.
