Cakebrew alternative? #222

Closed dixonge closed 3 years ago

dixonge commented 4 years ago

Two years of silence from @brunophilipe makes this project feel very abandoned.

Are there any alternative gui's for homebrew? I found nothing on Google search...

blcarson commented 4 years ago

Doesn't seem to be. The only thing that's currently being developed that comes close is Brewlet: https://github.com/zkokaja/Brewlet

What do we need to get it working again I wonder?

Gerzer commented 3 years ago

I wonder how hard it would be to revive this project, perhaps in a new fork. Personally, I'm much more fluent in Swift than in Objective-C, so I'm not sure how much that I'd be able to do myself.

ChrisChinchilla commented 3 years ago

I last looked at Objective-C and Swift sometime ago, but I am good at debugging issues and testing things…

@dixonge I hope you understand directed comments like this makes all OSS maintainers even less motivated to work on their projects. I could come here and remember you and everybody that the license states the software is made available with no warranty, but I know no one needs to hear this. That being said, I also regret not having the time to work on this project as much as I wish I had. I intend to polish up a bunch of issues and make an update adding better support for Big Sur soon, and therefore I'm closing this issue as off-topic. Thank you.

@brunophilipe from a user's perspective, I run into abandoned OSS projects almost every day. I see a reference to something, I go check it out, it is abandoned or non-functioning and the creator is silent. I decide not to commit to using the product because I have no assurance that breaks will be fixed.

But don't blame users for your own motivation or lack thereof. I was not here three years ago when you stopped responding to Issues. And you didn't respond to my Issue for almost a year! I have long since moved on. If anything, comments like mine should make you more motivated. And your activity in the last month should be very encouraging for current and future users.

But I was not intending to encourage or discourage you with my original Issue here. I was just reaching out to other users. Whether this motivates you or not is entirely up to you. Please don't blame others for your action or lack thereof.
