**Category closed** : New questions/issues can be opened [in the GitHub repo](https://github.com/iotsound/iotsound/issues). IoTSound, formerly balenaSound, was developed in 2019 to showcase the capabilities of the [balena IoT platform](https://www.balena.io/) which provides powerful edge device management at scale. Unfortunately, balenaSound has not connected with its intended audience: the commercial and industrial IoT space where the balena platform has thrived. Rather than archive and discontinue balenaSound, we have separted it from balena and gifted it to the hobbyist audio community that has been so passionate about it over the past five years. If you would like to become a maintainer of this project, please reach out to us [in this issue](https://github.com/balena-io-experimental/balena-sound/issues/689) and we will be in touch! ---
