This Plugin seems to be dead - any alternatives?

Why do you need an alternative? I've been using it for half a year now and I have yet to run into any major problems.

There are bugs for sure; I had to stop using it because sometimes many small issues related to viewport size, image size, and unstable visual diffing triggering false negatives. PR:s go ignored, and there is only one owner on the project. 🤷 I think those are all good reasons for the community to move on to a new shared project.

I know there are a lot of bugs related to viewport size but they're on Cypress' part. You're right, though. It would be nice to move on to a new project, I've been thinking about forking this repo mainly to add "retry" functionality.

This Plugin is simply no longer being maintained and therefore it's a big risk to use it in a professional system. Nobody is approving/rejecting PRs, easy Dependencies not updated and so on ...

There are a handful listed on https://awesomejs.dev/for/cypress/, and https://github.com/mjhea0/cypress-visual-regression looks like the most likely candidate.

Having said that, I've had no big issues with this library as-is.
