Is this project still under development? #193

Hey there!

It looks like an amazing project, yet it seems to be abandoned as the last release was already a couple of years ago. Could anybody comment here please?

I'm curious if Hatch is a worthwhile alternative?

The README here for pyflow with comparisons was quite insightful for someone who's not too familiar with the variety of choices when getting into Python. Presumably since that was written, the mentioned competition (and perhaps newer/other projects since) vs the value offering of pyflow may have become outdated?

While I am a big fan of rust, Hatch (Python based) seems to offer similar benefits while having a much stronger community and development activity, excellent docs, etc? I had come across both PyFlow and Hatch from this old article (Aug 2020) where the link to Hatch seems to be for a personal user repo, but now is under the PyPa GH organization (Python Packaging Authority)... all of which further strengthens it's appeal. No idea what hatch was like back then, but the momentum since is encouraging.

So for anyone else landing here, you may be interested in Hatch as an alternative to PyFlow which seems to have stagnated 😓
