Is the project dead?

Open surister opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

The project has not received an update for almost two years, last one being a pull request by @oldani the current maintainer.

In #198 the same thing was asked, with only 3 months before the last update.

There are currently 143 issues and 31 pull requests.. a new maintainer should be elected.

Completely agree. It's incredibly frustrating when developers create such a unique and useful library, only for it to be buggy, poorly maintained, and not updated in years, leaving countless people hanging. I hate having to use Selenium for JavaScript web scraping. It's so tedious and inefficient.

I tried contacting @kennethreitz to help maintaining the project but after a couple of emails we couldn't talk any further, unfortunately.

Superseded by #533 what a small world.
