The Algorithmic Trading App in question: https://github.com/austin-starks/NextTrade was moved back to `TypeScript`:

`138 forks` but only `2 contributors` ...
And of those contributions, _most_ are just updating the `README.md`:
So it's not like the `TypeScript` version is getting lots of community contributions. 💭
Looks like the `Medium` post and `Prime` reaction to it just sent them a bunch of traffic which converted to Stars ⭐
But no actual _engagement_ or _contribution_ to the project. 🤷♂️
The App is _Deployed_: https://nexustrade.io/ 🚀
I'd wager there's a good chance the app is no longer running the Open Source code. 🔐
Don't have _time_ to dig deeper. Need to get back to work. Feel free to investigate. 👍
