Project status query #613

Open sativ01 opened 3 years ago

sativ01 commented 3 years ago

Hi @amilajack , checking out the project, wonder what is the project status? Is it more alive than dead or other way around? I checked out the next branch and tried to build from it. There's too many errors in console that I see, e.g. Settings modal wouldn't close on close button, and others.

It seems to be a decent project, I like the fact that it's in React, utilizing typescript, and that there's a structure to the project. I'm missing several functions that are currently present in the original popcorn time desktop app, but other than that, it seems to be on a good path.

So please let me know what's the plan.

Thanks!

Hi @sativ01, thanks for asking! I'm currently looking for contributors to help get v2.0.0 out. If you're interested in contributing let me know!

sativ01 commented 3 years ago

I'm indeed interested in contributing, I'm using the popcorn time original app, but its tech stack is foreign to me, so I have found your project.

amilajack commented 3 years ago

Good to hear that you're interested in contributing! There are a number of areas that need contribution. The first is getting the next branch in a working state. Let me know if you have any questions or need help!

Few questions actually:

I see there's a massive 1.5.0 PR, let me know if you need some help with testing it etc. I believe it's better to wait for the merge before contributing.
I would like to start by writing some tests to get my head around the project, so please let me know if that's a good idea, and if so then which part do you reckon I should start with
Is there a slack/discord/telegram channel that you're using or you think github is enough?

Just merged 1.5.0. TV Show are broken and there's probably a bunch of bugs I haven't yet ran into. Feel free to test now!
