Hi @joshwcomeau
Thanks for this awesome library. I want to help, and I use React Flip Move in my chrome extension: https://github.com/xcv58/Tab-Manager-v2.
I use React, flow/TS, storybook in my daily job, and familiar with CI setup.
Hi @xcv58! Thanks for reaching out :) super glad to have you onboard! Really appreciate it.
I'll send an invite to manage the GitHub repo. Feel free to respond to issues as they come up, or take a stab at fixing things! I'm happy to answer questions (although it's been a while since I've worked with this codebase myself...).
If things go well, I'll give you access to NPM publishing as well :)
Hey @joshwcomeau I would like to be a part if possible :)
I'm also here to help this library. Let me know if need any help in a task.
@joshwcomeau what's your usual way to bump the version publish in npm https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-flip-move?
I can set up a GitHub action to do it: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/publishing-packages/publishing-nodejs-packages
Do you mind setting the NPM token so that we can bump the version to catch fixes?
@xcv58 Ah, really sorry for being MIA! I don't check Github notifications because I get tagged in all sorts of stuff / it's 99% noise.
I've invited you as a maintainer on npmjs.org (I assume you use the same username, xcv58? It shows the same avatar). Once you accept the invitation, you should be able to publish new versions.
Feel free to email me at me@joshwcomeau.com, and thanks for all of your work maintaining this package. Really sorry you've been stuck on this for months :(

Thank you, I'm working on publishing the new version.
Hey! I do not have much experience maintaining open source code, but willing to help too!
Hey @joshwcomeau i would like to help make this library keep growing and would love to be a part of it.
Hi folks!
I started working on React Flip Move about 2.5 years ago, in January of 2016. Since then, this library has become widely used, getting dowloaded over 100,000 times a month on NPM (!!!). That means about 1% of React downloads also include React Flip Move.
Unfortunately, since then, I've also started work on lots of other side-projects, and I feel like I'm spreading myself a bit too thin. My primary focus right now (in addition to my full-time day job) is on Guppy, to make front-end web dev more approachable for folks from untraditional backgrounds.
If anyone is interested in carrying the torch for this project, it'd be super appreciated. Ideally, this would be one of Flip Move's current collaborators, or someone with experience managing an open-source project, but let's chat even if that doesn't apply to you.
For folks reading this and worrying because their app depends on React Flip Move, don't worry too much; even if we don't find a new maintainer, I'm going to try and provide baseline levels of support for this project. That said, at some point in the future, React might deprecate
findDOMNode
, and if they do, significant refactoring would need to happen to this project... so it may be wise to consider switching to something like react-flip-toolkit, which is actively under development.
