Hey @mkearney 👋

I saw that {textfeatures} has been kicked off CRAN yesterday. Were you aware that that happened?

I would be happy to help you bring it back on CRAN!

I know it's been a long while, but I'd be curious if either @mkearney or @EmilHvitfeldt could provide a roughly definitive answer as to whether this package (along with tfse & dapr, also both only available on GitHub now) is officially abandoned. Trying to decide how best to handle an old project with some code that uses textfeatures.

sadly yes these are no longer supported. i'm encountering the same problems, but do not have time or career support to work on these any more.

I have pull some of the features of this package into step_textfeatures() https://textrecipes.tidymodels.org/reference/step_textfeature.html. Is there other parts of this package that you need that you don't find there?

@EmilHvitfeldt Thanks, that probably covers what the old code I was looking at needs. I wasn't using tfse & dapr directly, they were just dependencies of textfeatures.
