PLEASE MARK AS IN MAINTENANCE

Open mercmobily opened this issue 4 years ago • 6 comments

The last commit to this project was in 2018. The team behind it (Monica, Rob, Keanu, others) have either moved on to different companies, or different parts of Google.

And yet, in polymer-project.org, it's still not grey and it's marked as "prerelease":

It's time to mark it as "Maintenance" (although since it's been getting 0 commits since 2018, maybe "Obsolete" would be more appropriate) BOTH in Polymer's web site AND in the project's README.

In the website, I recommend linking to open-wc.org which is what developers are using instead -- if they are lucky enough to discover it.

I obviously got confused and posted this in the wrong repo. I meant to post it in the pwa-started-kit -- which I did. However, I also think this should be archived away and it needs to be stated clearly in the README that it's now obsolete.

@mercmobily now that polymer-starter-kit is obsolete. What should we use to create apps?

@yankooknay Google suggests https://open-wc.org/init/ with LitElement. Polymer is done at v3.

And the link in the previous comment is now dead. Any suggestions about what to use instead?

IRL is dead, but the org is still there. If you want a web component-based project you can start with: https://github.com/open-wc/create

This is a great repo of info too: https://github.com/web-padawan/awesome-lit-html
