Hi Kris,

First off thanks for this library, I've been using it on and off since watching your talk back in 2016. It's been my go to framework when building my own UI's. So really appreciate the time and effort you put into this and thank you for open sourcing it.

Without sounding too demanding as life is always very busy, are you looking to develop this library further? It's open source so I could help out (or try) but wanted to know if this is something you are looking to maintain, or have you moved onto other libraries, or not really looking in this area of development anymore?

Couple of improvements would be:

Thanks,

Mark

Hey Mark,

I'm glad you found it useful! This library was a distillation of the techniques I'd used on previous ClojureScript projects - I wanted to formalise it so I didn't have to keep reinventing it for every new gig.

But, contracting is an unpredictable beast, and in the past couple of years I haven't done much ClojureScript at all. (Partly because of Elm & PureScript - which both have very similar approaches to Petrol - and partly because of choice of projects and people.)

So while this library stands as the way I'd do things today if I were writing ClojureScript, realistically I don't see much ClojureScript in my near future. If you're interested in taking it further, it's probably time for me to hand over the reins. :-)

If you're interested, say the word and I'll give you commit privileges.
