Is this still actively being developed #34

Open Isaac-Leonard opened 3 years ago

Isaac-Leonard commented 3 years ago

I'd like to use this even if it is still alpha however the last commit was 3 months ago, are there still plans to make it a full package?

13thptr commented 3 years ago

Same question

akirakyle commented 3 years ago

I haven't had significant time since last fall to work on this and I'm not sure when I'll have much time to work on it going forward. I'm happy to accept patches though. I'm not sure what you mean by a "full package" though?

shaunsingh commented 3 years ago

I'm not the poster but, for me full package means

  1. available via melpa
  2. working ootb

Currently the biggest blockers (imo) are

  1. the unmentioned dependency on org (and ol.el), which both give errors if auto/lazy loaded
  2. The flickering
  3. Inability to work on macOS

For number 2 you realistically need PGTK, XEmbed is buggy af, and PGTK is the way to go.

akirak commented 2 years ago

It would be possible to add this to manual-packages.nix after resolving the bugs, with meta.platforms limited to Linux.

bqv commented 1 year ago

PGTK was merged, recently

It's been awhile, so I've added a short note to the readme about expectations for further development
