For many years I managed my photos and my photo a day project using a brilliant photo CMS called Koken. It seemed to fall into limbo a few years ago with no updates and no info about the status of the project. It changed ownership was about all I knew but I kept on using it as it integrated well with Lightroom and was also exactly what I was looking for in a CMS.
About a year ago I decided to take down the site as without updates it was not the best idea to have an unpatched site publicly accessible.
When rebuilding this site recently I noticed that there is an update on koken.me from the original creators of the project that sheds some light on its current status and what happened the project.
It’s a shame something like this happened to a great project but hopefully the current owners will release it back to Todd, Brad and Lauren so either it can be revived, repurposed or even rehomed with new owners.
Goodbye Koken.
