Is this project still being maintained? #373

I noticed that there has been no activity here for awhile.

@keanulee I noticed that you no longer work at Google. So, do you know if Google is going to assign someone else to this project? Or are they transitioning to a new progressive web app boilerplate?

@frankiefu Are you working on this now? You haven't responded to any pull requests that were assigned to you, it appears.

I just want to know as I think this is a project with a lot of promise in relation to building a modern day progressive web app focused on using web components and other technologies that allow developers to have a lower level integration with the browser. And, a simple boilerplate to run with would be extremely helpful.

And @abdonrd, perhaps you have more insight or google can give you rights to push directly to master, seeing that nobody on the Polymer project appears to be updating this project

Friendly ping to @justinfagnani.

@jMuzsik This project is mostly in maintenance mode right now. I will spend some time this week and next week to try to triage the issues and PRs. Thanks.

jmuzsik commented 5 years ago

Awesome, thanks for letting me know. I hope you guys find someone to do incremental updates like Keanu was, it would be great to take this project to another level for the community.

The open-wc project seems very promising and may eventually offer much the same functionality.

peschee commented 4 years ago

open-wc is being recommended by the polymer team. Have a look at their recently published roadmap: https://github.com/Polymer/project/blob/master/Roadmap.md

The PWA is still marked as "Prerelease" in the Polymer-project.org web site:

It should be marked as "Maintenance"... shouldn't it?

I also want to raise the issue that the PWA is right now the first point of contact for people using lit-html etc. Right now "Polymer" means a bunch of different things (PRPL-server, polymer-cli, lit-element, as well as defined patterns). PWA is part of this picture... but it looks like you're looking to replace PWA with https://open-wc.org/ .

What's the way forward? Or, is there a way forward?

logicalphase commented 4 years ago

I think the solution was to move the starter apps over to open-wc because they have created all the supporting apps to manage a lit-html / lit-element project. I actually liked polymer-cli in a lot of ways, but it's clear that it would have taken a dedicated effort to update it, including bower replacement, etc.

Regardless of what group creates and manages the Lit based starter apps, of which a PWA example I think is needed, it probably should reside in a space where it can be maintained properly.

The Polymer project is broken down by Polymer versions and Lit versions, and the various tools and experimental projects. I think the way forward, if it was my decision, would be to create new replacement pwa-starter-kit examples via open-wc and then sunset these older ones along with their tooling. Until then they should be maintained.

But I not in a position to do anything other than make suggestions. Perhaps others can provide a better update than I can. And for clarity, I'm vested in Lit-HTML and LitElement, and I want the project to be clear and easy to adopt.

This project is no longer under development and will be transitioning to a read-only repo. Thank you for your contributions.
