This fork was originally intended as a place to test out the unmerged PR's of the official Aider project, as Paul, the original maintainer was AFK and not responding to attempts to engage about the 1100+ unresolved issues and 200+ un-merged PR's submitted by the community! Things came to a head recently, with a comment on the Aider official Discord, by Paul. He asked us to stop talking about our "Fork" on his Discord. Time to Fork off The new fork doesn't even have a name yet (we have to re-name it.) I already put my vote in for "ComExA" or "Community Experimentation AI". We do have a Discord, a repo, and a chief maintainer who you can actually talk to! We also have imo the best AI Code Assistant out there - just with a lot of bugs at the moment. Come and join us! https://github.com/dwash96/aider-ce - try it out, submit some bugs, help with code. See what Aider-CE is capable of here: https://www.circusscientist.com /2025/11/11/ aider-ce-building-a-webapp-and-testing-live-with-a-single-prompt/ Takeaway Finally I want to say Thank You to Paul Gautier. Aider helped me a lot so far. But I heard a saying that probably applies here: If you love something, set it free; if it comes back, it was always yours.
