Is this project abandoned? #579

Closed ZacSweers closed 6 years ago

ZacSweers commented 6 years ago

I noticed there's a ton of un-acknowledged outstanding issues and PRs.

The project is not abandoned, but it is fair to say it is stable and mature. It is heavily exercised internally at Facebook on a daily basis by at least a half dozen projects. That said, I have personally been letting you folks down however and for that I sincerely apologize. I typically try to go through and cleanup issues at least once per month but have been distracted by a number of personal and professional projects and for that I'm truly sorry.

Toward the end of the year I'll have time to go through and cleanup PRs.

Stable and mature, but there at 18 PRs open and some fixing KIs. I think it hurts the credibility of the project for external pitches when it gets into the state that it has the last ~6 months. Litho also recently deprecated their stetho support, which adds to the wonder about whether or not it's still maintained. Just my 2c. Looking forward to development picking up again

@hzsweers I agree, this isn't an appropriate state for a project still in heavy use within Facebook and externally. I'll resolve to do better.

As for Litho, there are separate issues at play there. Litho is a complex abstraction and chrome://inspect's rules don't quite fit as well as we'd hoped. We don't have a clear solution for the community yet at this time, but it otherwise doesn't suggest Stetho is dead either.
