Future of the library #311

Hey there, sorry I have been away for so long.

The reason is that I changed my main role to another company, and my focus also changed to content creation and other OSS projects, having my own library and publishing it was one of the more satisfactory sources of new knowledge and learnings for me.

I was actually surprised and happy that people started to use it, this also added the responsibility of maintaining it, and listening to the new feature requests. But I'm the only maintainer and never reached the point of also having people contributing heavily, so basically, I could only dedicate a few hours after work.

Recently while thinking about what I wanted to do with this situation, I found out that there are better options out there, like https://formkit.com/ which makes an excellent job (way better than me) on creating dynamic forms with typescript support. It's also heavily maintained, is an actual product, and seems like a more stable alternative for you.

I didn't want to archive it without knowing your opinion if you really like the library and you are using it in production I don't want to force anyone to migrate alone. In the case, you will like to continue the library and be an active maintainer, DM me

Maybe a guide to easily migrate to https://github.com/formkit/formkit would help?

Thanks for the understanding and for the support 🙏🏻.Looking forward to your feedback.

On behalf of everybody who's used this library but not commented here, thank you! It definitely made my life easier back when vue 3 packages were less available.

I think that a guide for migrating would probably be welcome, maybe along with a notice in the README that the package is not recommended for new projects. I am using vue-dynamic-forms in production, so keeping the project alive (if unsupported) would be ideal! :D
