Clarkson needs a refresh
I wrote this project as a hobby back when I was interested in understanding the economy on my vehicles as I commuted to work. I'm really happy it picked up interest and it's great that people are using it.
Unfortunately I decided to write it in Angular 2 right at the point where the Angular project was propelling itself at an astronomical rate. The side-effect of this is that the codebase for Clarkson is woefully out of date now. Case in point is I needed to make a two-line bugfix but in doing so would need to completely rebuild the project and update its dependencies.
This issue is to serve more as a notice that I understand and am aware that the project could use a bit of TLC but my time is a bit stretched at the moment as my wife and I are expecting our first child in the next few months. I'm happy to keep maintaining this project but any maintenance or improvements will be a bit few and far between.
If anyone wishes to help support this project with extra development work, it's more than welcome.
Thanks again for using this app!
Hello @JAGFin1
I for one am grateful if you could still somewhat maintain this even if it is sporadically as I do use it regularly. Appreciate your circumstances though, congratulations! Family comes first.
If you do get round to changing any of the actual content it would be great if you could include a very similar model for tracking servicing work and spend, maybe even tyre / fuild changes. This would make Clarkson a very useful tool indeed for tracking everything to do with a vehicle, or multiple.
I'd love to contribute technically but my developer skills are sadly lacking. I'd be happy to contribute to documentation or whatever where I could.
Hi Josh Thanks for letting us know. Appreciated. I am also very much busy. I could contribute to some extends especially if the frontend development changes to REACT. I am novice with Angular at the moment.
