Is code still maintained?

Open valerioleo opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

I have just discovered this wonderful library and would love to bring it to our company, but the repo seems to have had no activity for almost a year now -- which is always a concern when picking libraries.

Is this project still under development? If the main contributors have no time to continue, is there any plan for a community takeover (like just happened in immutable.js)?

Thanks to anyone helping!

I'm still using Mirage for my personal projects and our consulting clients are also using it, but I haven't been actively developing it due to sustainability reasons.

I've been noodling in the background on how best to sustain Mirage going forward because we keep coming across people using it and I think it's a really valuable library for the ecosystem. I would love to simplify the core and move the packaged serializers + other non-essential bits to a middleware system. I think to the extent folks have interest in helping stabilize Mirage, we should extract the core, modernize it a bit (it still uses the old extend module from Backbone), and create a plugin/middleware system so the community can continue development in other areas.

But to answer your question I do not want to be a blocker to the community and am more than happy to help with anyone wanting to carry the flag forward!

@samselikoff I'm adding some ideas to improve the code: https://github.com/miragejs/miragejs/issues/980

Don't know how much time available I have this month, but maybe I can help with the improvements.
