I loved Octopress and wanted to use that. It seems like development stopped around 2016. Do know if someone forked it and there's a more updated version out there?
Yeah. From what I remember, Octopress was designed to take Jekyll from static site generator to Blog engine (i.e. automate the manual stuff to set up a blog). Jekyll has since cribbed significantly from Octopress to make it much easier to approach for that use case.
