typesafe-i18n is UNMAINTAINED - Ivan Hofer passed away

Open samuelstroschein opened this issue 11 months ago • 30 comments

Hi everyone,

Ivan Hofer passed away.

As a college, TypeScript master, i18n enthusiast, and Svelte lover, Ivan is deeply missed. Ivan Hofer invested a lot of time into typesafe-i18n, answering many questions and improving the library.

What will happen to typesafe-i18n?

If nobody steps forward to fork the repository, typesafe-i18n is unmaintained.

What library should I use?

  1. Typesafe-i18n is stable, as indicated by the number of open issues, and might still be a fit for your project.
  2. The suggestion for an i18n solution is stack-dependent. Thus, it's best to google "i18n for Svelte, React, Vue, etc." to find an appropriate solution.
  3. Consider Inlang paraglide, the typesafe-i18n successor that Ivan Hofer was worked on.

@bangdragon He participated in a mountain marathon and was found dead a few kilometers before the finish line. The reason for his collapse is unknown. Here is a newspaper article.

Go f*ck yourself, man. True, nobody knows what happened there and whether covid/vaccines affected him, but show some respect. Since you're in this repo - his work helped you in some way, so don't be a dickhead and filter your speech

RIP, Ivan

My condolences to Ivan's family and girlfriend. His contributions and low latency feedback was an inspiration for the i18n and {type,java}script communites.

You will be remembered, Ivan. 🌹

@vladev Unfortunately, nobody has maintenance rights other than Ivan Hofer's GitHub account

cc @nat @github his legacy must remains exist

my 2 cents would be the github deceased user policy

Also depending on how close ur relationship was you may be able to provide enough proof to atleast get the repo archived and a notice added from githubs side. some smaller news outlets did cover it, first thing that comes up when googleing him nowadays. Maybe thats sufficient.

may he rest in peace
