Unfortunately, it seems like the project has been inactive for quite some time. Anyone have any news on this?

The trick is in the screenshot with the OP_RETURN as destination address, I would never have thought to just try that.

Cool! Check out opentimestamps. Batches up document digests into a merkle tree and commits the root in a block. Means its free to use because it can timestamp thousands of documents/files in a single transaction. And there's a command-line client!

What's the use case for this? I can't think of any real world use case

A few but one that comes to mind is using it to verify an important document such as a Will is verifiable and not tampered with after the fact.
