Freshtomato is not out of date. The last stable release was december of 2024 And the github repos are being actively updated as well.

Perhaps you are confusing freshtomato with some of it’s predecessors, like tomato or advancedtomato, which are no longer currently maintained.

As for openwrt instead, that doesn’t support broadcom wifi chips, whereas freshtomato does.

This is like that other recommendation of a linuxserver/kasmvnc docker image as well. It doesn’t allow for collaborative editing like cryptpad or google docs does.
