State of the lib/repo. Is this still actively maintained? #676

Dear @cnjinhao, Dear @qPCR4vir, Dear nana contributors and community,

I'm using nana (1.7.4) for quite a while now. Unfortunately, I can't see any activity from the repository owner since mid 2022. In fact, I don't see any online activity from Jinhao in the known channels at all. I'm wondering how the state of this lib is. I see that development of 1.8 has "stopped" with the lack of activity from Jinhao in 2022 (A year ago). The last official release was in 2020 (which does not even build without modifications...). I have seen that you Ariel have done many commits in the past and that you also have an active ongoing PR, so maybe you can help me as well.

Now the big question: Can we either,

I really hope that all issues can be resolved and that nana can move forward. I see many opportunities for this lib and would really like to contribute some of my ideas. However, that's only possible if this lib will still be actively maintained!

Thanks in Advance Ludwig F.

Yes, it's still actively maintained. Now, the virtual keyboard is supported for touchscreen input, this feature has been merged into develop-1.8
