Does anyone know why NewPipe x Sponsorblock was archived?

I stumbled on the repo today and I noticed it was archived. Will the fork be abandoned?

EDIT: Thanks guys, I moved to Tubular.

I believe the dev rebranded the app and started a new fork

- Correct
There was some thing about NewPipe not liking that they used the NewPipe name in the app name and a logo that resembled a bit too much. The NewPipe x Sponsorblock dev decided to rebrand to Tubular and everything is as you expect it otherwise.
Unfortunately I don't have time to find the issue right now, but it was discussed somewhere in their repo.
I installed Tubular today. It's a fork of NewPipe with SponsorBlock. Is it the same thing or a different fork?
- It's from the same dev. You could see it as the natural evolution of newpipe. So far the only difference it's the possibility to submit sponsorblock segments with tubular.
- I believe it also added back the dislike counter.

I've been using Libretube and kept Newpipe as a backup. I'll check this Tubular. Thanks for sharing
