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.
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.
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?
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.
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
