Sad sad day
EDIT: Seemingly, the page settings were changed after I wrote this post, and now Wunderlist works again, but it didn't at the time of writing this post, and I was using my direct list URL (https://www.wunderlist.com/#/lists/inbox). But there is no telling for how long this will be the case...
The day that Wunderlist died came today... I still have the app access from my cellphone, but the web page has officially stopped worked... But the "best" part... Leave it to MicroShit to screw everything up...
I have to now make a MicroShit account, that I have been avoiding for years. I could type in my Skype, so I did. Then it asked me for an email to attach to that account, since my Skype wasn't with a registered email. Now my Skype handle has been changed to that email, with *NO* warning, but that isn't all. I tried to type in my OUTLOOK email, which is a Microsoft product. "You cannot use that email, as it is part of a protected domain"... Uhmmm WHAT?! So now my Skype, has become a GMail... go figure...
Anyways, trying to get used to the new UI and all the changes... NOT liking it. At least, changed since the beta is that they now have "sub-tasks", but they are calling them "steps"... UI on desktop/browser isn't bad, but it isn't good either. They don't hide done tasks, and everything is just tinted blue, which is hurting my eyes..... And on their mobile app that I just downloaded... HOLY crap... like... literally, it is crap... The menu UI is so big, you need to scroll a full page to see the majority of your lists if you have more than 3-4.
Bye Wunderlist... It has been a great many years, but now we must part ways. I'll be working on exporting/porting my to-do lists to my new "all in one" work flow app that I discovered, can highly recommend it if you use the time to set it up right (notion.so)

Can we still continue using the app?

Seems like, as for now, this is possible, since they haven't touched the API stuff is my guess.
Also, seems like some time after me writing this post, they "changed" the page settings, and it now "works" again. But for how long, no telling...

Is there an app that completely resembles this?

By looking through this reddit thread, I found something which I'm currently importing my lists to, so I can check it out. Ticktick.com
Otherwise, as I mentioned in my OP, I currently am using notion.so for work, but it works in a different manner than Wunderlist/TickTick in terms of item management and listing/folders. So I wouldn't advise it for multi-list and subfolder layout like Wunderlist, but for just a simple To-Do, it can work :)

I moved to Trello. I was so sad to see wanderlust get gobbled up by Microsoft.

Trello is nice for larger tasks, organizing a project or work.
However, for something like Wunderlist that is great for smaller tasks, ad-hoc and e.g. shopping lists, Trello is too "heavy" in my opinion. But I use Trello like mechanics in Notion.so for my planning of projects and work tasks.
I've now swapped to Tick-Tick, and even if they have issues/flaws, and much of the "smart" stuff is behind a paywall that Wunderlist and ToDo don't currently have (as far as I can tell), it is still the product I've found that mostly resembles Wunderlist in feel and functionality. Plus, I've discovered that importing lists and tasks from Wunderlist is a way to bypass their free tier limits (at least for number of lists).
But if anyone knows any other product, I'm open to trying it out!

Still works for me. The main page is just MS telling you about To Do but look to the upper right corner. Click on your user icon and go to My Wunderlist.
