I grew up playing the EV series and I love Endless Sky. Is there something about the clone that you don’t like? I can’t thing of a change that I dislike. For example, fleet management is improved. Being able to dock your various ships and escorts is pretty cool.
Do you mean something other than https://beehaw.org/communities ? It has a local/all toggle and a search function. On the web interface, it’s on the header of every page.
