SpiderOak/Encryptr#286

I don't think this should be featured on the site.

The last commit was in July 19, 2016 (https://github.com/SpiderOak/Encryptr/commits/master) and that was to update the README.md file. I checked the App Store (iOS) and last release was in Dec 19, 2015; Play Store in December 7, 2015. Looks like development for the password manager is secretly dropped. Probably a good note to remove software that isn't actively developed and not been given the silent treatment.

Same with some other Spider Oak tools.

I think there should be a threshold for activity, but also for how many developers contribute.

No one should be recommending a tool that only has 1 contributor, either.

As a note that shares some relevance to this issue, I don't think inactivity of development in itself is a reason to drop a project unless there are outstanding security issues. If a tool is secure as is and it works as expected, then I don't see an issue with discontinued development as long as there is a commitment to fixing upcoming security issues (which isn't the case in this example so the removal is okay imo).

Depends on the kind of tool.
