2019 - what fork everybody has migrated to?
the author does not seem to be responding. I see there are bunch of forks
is there a common fork that most are migrating too?
RN is now at 0.60, although this component does not seem to use any of the android/ios specific doe so it might survive significant changes that affect anything using native code (in RN 0.60)
We were having problems with this library in newer RN versions and have been working around the issues as much as we can.
It appears alternative libraries are equally abandoned. I checked out some of the forks but most have just a few downloads on npm.
My guess is the original author no longer uses it actively in a project and has lost interest in maintaining it. Which is perfectly OK. We should be grateful for his contributions.
If anyone is willing to setup and actively maintain a fork (review, accept PR's and releases) it'd be a godsent. My own involvement in RN is too limited to make any promises.
@nielskrijger thnx for the follow up. I will post here if I find something better to land onto.
I am using this component in RN as well on web with RNW. It works. However with React Native rel 0.60 I am getting bunch of warnings around deprecated APIs so this will stop working for sure, in next major release of React (I guess 17.0).
Also there are aging dependencies, and a few functional bugs.
Sorry, to you all for being a totaly off this project. Had too many responsibilities that where a bit more important that maintaining this project, sorry about that. I am going to try get this project op to date again and maybe add a extra maintainer to the project.
I am also interested in this project and where it is going. I see warnings about lifecycle deprecations and it would be nice to see an example where you import the MD syntax from an external file rather than in a template string. I think most people using this package would want to write the content in a MD file, and I know that is my intention.
But, this is still the best package I can find for rendering markdown in React Native so I've got high hopes. Any particular issues we can help you with working on @mientjan?
I am using this project in production so have opened a fork which i intend to maintain for our production release.

I have merged all of the pull requests that make sense. Happy for additional contributors / maintainers.
