I noticed that https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy-Cloud hasn't had any code updates in a long time.

Appflowy isn't really open source IMO, it's more like open transparent development...

AppFlowy Cloud is adopting an open-core model. AppFlowy Web and AppFlowy Flutter will remain open source.
As part of this transition, we are consolidating and reorganizing our codebases in private repositories.

Recently, we merged all AppFlowy Web–related development from our private repository back into the public one. You can check the commit for reference. We will also merge Flutter code back into this public repository at a later stage.

AppFlowy Cloud will continue to follow the open-core model for business reasons.

We also have a few other open source repos, such as
AppFlowy Website
appflowy-editor
appflowy-board

Please let me know if you need any further clarification.
