Mojito is broken due to Mint UI overhaul

Hi All,

tl;dr
If you are wondering why Mojito no longer works, it's because of the new Mint user interface.

Details:
Around the beginning of 2022, Mint started automatically switching users over to a new user interface (UI). The new UI has a completely different programming interface (API) which effectively breaks Mojito. So any users that have the new Mint UI can no longer use Mojito to fetch and update their Mint data. My account was finally converted to the new UI a few weeks ago (I think I was one of the last?), so Mojito is broken for me, too.

My goal is to update Mojito so it will work with the new Mint UI, but I can't say with any confidence when that will be. My life and responsibilities are very different than they were when I originally created Mojito in 2013. Things are super busy for me right now. I'm sure many of you can relate to that overwhelming feeling where choosing to work on one thing means that something else is not getting done. That's my situation right now. Unfortunately, Mojito is not one of the projects where you can spend 15 minutes on it here and there. It requires several hours at a time, which is usually only possible late at night. And, I don't know about you, but I am already feeling pretty tired lately.

Again, I really do want to get Mojito working again, both for myself and for the handful of dedicated users out there. I just don't want to give you any false expectations about when that will happen.

Cheers,
