The Github repo (which was working for me until 5 mins ago) just 404'ed.

Kind of expected, but I was surprised at how quick that was.

I assume the author is reading the comments here and decided it would be in their best interest to make the repo private.

Does a GitHub archive exist? It sure is something to see code ebb and flow at the whims of the few.

Software Heritage attempts to archive all of GitHub (not there yet) and various other code sites:

Another reminder that you should always instantly download everything you ever find interesting or valuable. The internet is temporal because it's backed by people and infrastructure which are fallible and fragile in the face of law and talk.
