Dead Project?

Is this project being maintained. Looking for something like blessed, but that's being maintained. Need a terminal within the screen, but Terminal says it requires term.js which is also no longer maintained.

The example still works.

Ok, I was looking for a solution that had some life left in it though. The blessed terminal widget requires the term.js and pty.js to be installed.
term.js is no longer maintained, and pty.js is ancient, and also not receiving much love. I did some hunting to see if I could replace the terminal widget with something that was supported, and It looks like @rse has Blessed-XTerm which may be a good replacement. Then realising a C++ compiler was going to be necessary for either of those options, which would be a speed bump for my consumers, I started looking at some other options.

  1. Packaging a blessed based app with something like pkg
  2. Just use Electron

At this stage, I'm heading in the second direction.

We have a fork called neo-blessed that is meant to be a drop-in replacement and maintained.
