Is this library abandoned completely?

Open breadfan opened this issue 3 years ago β€’ 5 comments

I have a lot of features to offer, however seems this project abandoned completely. And most strange and bad bug I have is: having incorrectly written song name I get completely random song lyrics. Question is: is it worth to make bug reports/pr or it's better to begin to write my own scrapper? Sad story tbh.

I'm experiencing the same thing! Would love to know if this library is still open to maintenance.

@davidnmora I've written to him about 3 letters from two emails, zero respond

I've been busy this past year, but I have time to work on this library now. But @johnwmillr seems to be too busy to work on this project or has lost interest. Either way, there's no updating the library without his permission. If he doesn't get back to us, I'll see about updating my own fork.

Hi, everybody! Thanks for reaching out both @breadfan and @allerter. I've received your emails and seen the posts here. I appreciate everybody's interest and enthusiasm in the project.

I don't consider lyricsgenius abandoned, but I haven't made time for it lately. I'm hoping in the coming weeks to begin addressing the (numerous) issues and pull requests that have piled up. Thanks for your patience!
