Status of project? Roadmap? #252

Closed calloncampbell closed 7 months ago

calloncampbell commented 1 year ago

This is one of my favorite REST API client but I feel this project has become stale with little to no effort going on to improve the app. Are you able to provide a status update and possibly a roadmap for the future of Nightingale? Will we see this incorporate WinUI 3? Will this move out of UWP and into Win SDK?

I have a roadmap but admittedly time is scarce right now. The project is definitely not abandoned though. I'll share more when I can

Really hope you're able to find some time to pick up development as I can't think of an other native Windows app for testing API's that is of this quality.

Appreciate the kind words! Life has changed so much since I built Nightingale v1 to v4. I was single and living in a foreign country with plenty of time. Today I'm married with a stable career and with fam/friends to meet. I'm a better developer today, but man.... is it tough to find time to develop! Anyway, I'm hopeful to pick up development for Nightingale again soon!

I know the feeling ;). Still I personally try to find some time to work on it in my spare time, because it's so fun to work on those projects. Once I succeeded to drag me from the couch to the Mac, and start typing, I'm on fire .... :)

Hi @dpaulino,

nightingale is still one of my most used apps even if some stuff doesn't work or need to be improved. Because the UI is hidden away, I was thinking if it would be possible to use the https://github.com/jenius-apps/nightingale-core in a new client UI that is pure open source.

The question is, would this be a solution to remove you as a single resource that can improve stuff. I understand that the current UI must stay closed source. But I would be open to try it and write just in the open a new UI.

And if we can maybe find 3 to 4 people more that want to maintain and contribute to it, we can maybe improve fast.

Congrats on open sourcing! Seems like roadmap in readme is pretty clear, can probably close this issue now?

dpaulino commented 7 months ago

yep :)
