The Future of This Project #328

Hi,

This repo seems to be inactive. Could you share some info just to help set the expectation?

Thank you!

Yeah that's the vibe I got this from this project. But in when you think about it, you rather want to use actual storage solution rather than storage in the browser

https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/gcs-fuse something like this

Thank you @jinseok9338.

I was looking for a Browser-only Filesystems to build distributed apps that don't rely on a server. Maybe Filesystem is too low level. Indexed DB or sql.js might be better alternatives.

(and I love Snoopy too)

@chuanqisun and @jinseok9338,

I've recently become a maintainer for the project.

This repo seems to be inactive. Could you share some info just to help set the expectation?

  • What is the current project status, e.g.: archive, or fix-only?
  • Any alternative projects to recommend?

I'm hoping to work on some enhancements in the mid-term future but for now I'm focusing on fixing any major bugs and updating the CI/CD setup.
