Hello,

I know that since the launch of pgAdmin 4 in 2016, pgAdmin has been using a
web-based model, as announced as early as 2014. You only need to do a
little research on the Web to understand all the reasons behind this
choice, which I do not seek to question.

However, I wonder if it would be relevant to keep pgAdmin 3 alive. I'm not
so much talking about improving the interface of pgAdmin 3, but simply
about keeping the software functional in new systems. I tried to install it
in the latest versions of Linux Mint and Ubuntu, but the software keeps
bugging, which it didn't do in older versions of the same systems 5 or 6
years ago.

Do you think there's a possibility that people could fix pgAdmin 3, even if
it means making a fork or whatever? Because, although pgAdmin 4 and other
tools such as OmniDB and DBeaver are probably excellent, some people, for
various reasons, might want to continue using pgAdmin 3 in 2021. I'm not an
expert in the field, but I'm thinking that maybe someone here might be able
to save this nice little application software from disappearing by
investing a few days to maintain it.

Thank you for your time,

GM
