Hello,

I looked at the editors in the list and it seems that they aren't maintained anymore. I think that it would be good to add a Deprecated note to them: https://github.com/jakiestfu/Medium.js https://github.com/jaredreich/pell https://github.com/sofish/pen https://github.com/steveathon/bootstrap-wysiwyg https://github.com/Voog/wysihtml https://github.com/im4aLL/easyeditor https://github.com/mycolorway/simditor

And many more...

Hi @mimi89999 ~

I agree that adding a Deprecated note to these editors would be a prudent step. This way, users can be informed about their status and make informed decisions.

Can you take the initiative to add the Deprecated note to the relevant entries?

Thank you!

Hm. I think that the way the development status of projects is marked needs rethinking. Currently there is exactly one project that is marked as Deprecated. This is probably because it has that mentioned in the description and the repo is archived.

However, I think that to the average person reading this list there is little difference between that project and other projects that are aren't active for 6 or even 10 years and only have the 😴 status.

Hi @mimi89999 ,

Besides Deprecated, I am thinking of applying 2 new markers, namely Inactive and Dormant.

so now we can be categorized into 3:

  1. Deprecated: Projects that are no longer maintained or recommended for use, typically because they've been replaced by newer alternatives or technologies.
  2. Inactive: Projects that are not actively being developed but are still functional and may receive occasional updates or bug fixes.
  3. Dormant: Projects that are temporarily on hold or inactive due to various reasons such as lack of resources, developer availability, or shifting priorities.

with this, repository visitors can now identify each project and whether to use or contribute to it.

Thank you!
