I don't know about the development status of wyrd, but it's in my distro's 
(Void) repositories and I continue using it in conjunction with remind. It 
works fine here, apart from a minor problem I have with wyrd aborting if I 
use a certain type of terminal when I ssh into the system. Actually, tmux 
is in that mixture as well, so perhaps it plays some role in the issue I'm 
seeing. In any case, that hasn't hampered enough that I've taken the time 
to troubleshoot it. So the wyrd/remind combination is still working fine 
in my scenario.
