Still Maintained? #249

Open Finkman opened 9 months ago

Finkman commented 9 months ago

Reading the pending PRs and open issues leads me to the question:

Is this project still actively developed?

xshenhan commented 9 months ago

same question

zhaobenny commented 9 months ago

While we await an answer, I have a fork with some of the pending PRs merged for anyone that needs Docker images with fixes.

ormandj commented 9 months ago

Has anybody tried to contact @szabodanika via alternative means?

Finkman commented 9 months ago

I read on his page that he is maintaining only on holidays. So… we should be patient.

Dude, can you fix eternal pasta? I enabled it and set some to never expire, but they are setting to 1 week max and still expiring. Lost some uploaded files on my own...

The fix for that should already be in the fixed docker image: https://github.com/szabodanika/microbin/pull/215

It's not that. "Never expire" is visible, I can select it. But created pasta is still sets to 1 week. https://github.com/szabodanika/microbin/assets/12829428/f2c8d2e1-f60e-45c6-8a62-1ee7dcc7e686

Hi everyone asking. I apologise for disappearing and I really appreciate that you considered using MicroBin. The project is not abandoned (will set it to archived if/when that happens) but not exactly maintained at the moment either. I am still a student and during the academic year I have absolutely no time for side projects (MicroBin grew to a size that requires a LOT of time as the only developer). In the summer I have much more time which you can see from the commit history. This summer I will definitely continue working on the project. No new features planned for the time being as I would like to squash all the bugs first, I understand that there are a few really annoying ones. Feel free to keep opening issues and PRs, they will be tended to eventually, I promise.

I always have the best timings, just started working on a fork today :laughing:. I opened some PR with the change I made. Not sure what'll do :thinking:.

runofthemillgeek commented 7 months ago

@DX37 I've made a fix for it in #260 which seems to be working for me.

Kofl commented 7 months ago

I really hope the initial developer finds time in summer for this great project. Maybe he is also open for a second main contributor, as Timshel really did great work for e.g. on dani-garcia/vaultwarden for the SSO implementation.

Glad to see this is still being maintained. With all the pull requests, the community is clearly ready to help support you.

johnmmcgee commented 4 months ago

Great project and I too would love to see it maintained. Perhaps give others write access to the repo who would help maintain it?

With summer almost over, any news on this?

uxfion commented 1 month ago

‌‌‌May need a new successor or collaborator.

Timshel commented 1 month ago

Hey I worked on a fork in March but then stopped when the author posted his message. I don't have much time to work on it but decided to make a release 2.0.5 with the change I made and publish a docker image (the base image is now based on bookworm-slim executable is renamed to sharebin and all env prefix was replaced with SHAREBIN).

For now, I don't have anything more planned but will be around to merge fix and will check bugs. Will see if there is some interest :).

Awesome stuff. Thank you for the effort.

@szabodanika

Dániel, I hope you are doing well. Like many I appreciate the work you, together with the wider FOSS community, have put into microbin. It is a wonderfully light, clean looking webapp. Understandably you do not have the time to maintain microbin on your own. Unfortunately you being the only maintainer has led to the community's efforts being splintered around multiple forks wasting a lot of work.

The good news is that there is still a lot of effort being put in. While applying PR's to my own maintained fork, I ran into three others. I think together we could take care of microbin with you.

I propose you add me as interim maintainer of microbin. I have experience taking over maintainership and mobilizing the FOSS community. See my work with the rodio community. Just like you I do not have time to maintain microbin forever but I can help out to build up a team which can. The people maintaining microbin forks might be able to help.

I hope to hear from you in the next two weeks. If you cannot respond, that is okay. Open source is fun but there are more important things in life. If that happens I'll set up a microbin organization and move my fork to it then try to organize the community around that. We will not let your creation die, it's to useful to us :)

PS; I will also try and contact @szabodanika over mail

uniquePWD commented 1 month ago

It makes me happy to see that MicroBin will not only survive but flourish. It requires very little upkeep, so hopefully it's not much of a burden on all who come together to help maintain it.

szabodanika commented 1 month ago

Hey guys, can you please email me at d@szab.eu if you would like to be added to a mail chain about establishing a group of maintainers instead of me being the only "maintainer" of the MicroBin.

dvdsk commented 1 month ago

Looking through the list of forks I think @mikedamm (fork), @kyleyh838 (fork), @overcuriousity (fork), @Timshel (fork] and @OXeu (fork). might all be interested. I hope by mentioning their names here there is a larger chance they see your message about the mail chain.

overcuriousity commented 1 month ago

My fork exists because the upstream seems to be abandoned. Currently I am doing only occasional security fixes.

Danie10 commented 3 weeks ago

This is pretty sad as this project had tremendous potential with ability to edit, list, etc. But there are a few things requiring fixing and I just can't use it in this state as my requirements are for read-only with password protected edit and delete.

Feel free to contribute to my Fork! Can´t really code in Rust anyway w.o. AI.

Danie10 commented 3 weeks ago

@overcuriousity thanks I need a Docker install tho - but I see the links to the forks now above - I'll explore those.

dvdsk commented 3 weeks ago

If you read the last few messages you can see that microbin is very much maintained and in the process of setting up a group of maintainers to speed up development. You can also check the commit history to confirm that.

uniquePWD commented 2 weeks ago

Did a maintenance group manage to form? Is MicroBin safe going forward?

overcuriousity commented 2 weeks ago

Maintainer is currently evaluating how to go forward from here. Meanwhile my fork is maintained and I would consider it to be safe (pentested a bit), but this should also be true for the original microbin which received a number of commits in October (not pentested it, but integrated into my fork).

Danie10 commented 5 days ago

EDIT Link Fixed: I just did a video comparing MicroBin and PrivateBin at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jusUL_YrRkA. After looking at both, I'm pretty happy with MicroBin - I included my workaround for how to delete a Read-Only note with password, when it was reporting incorrect password. For my purposes MicroBin is working out better (and I need it it a Docker container).

Finkman commented 1 day ago

I guess the link is wrong. I see something strange about Austrailian election.

uniquePWD commented 1 day ago

The correct link should be https://youtu.be/jusUL_YrRkA

Danie10 commented 1 day ago

Sorry guys, yes that was an incorrect link (ouch). OK, I also edited in my post above so it is correct. But one that @uniquePWD provided was also correct.
