Is this project dead? #223

Open jnardone opened 5 years ago

jnardone commented 5 years ago

No commits since last April? No responses to issues from @zkat since last August. 10 open issues with NO comments on them going back to last August.

I'd like to keep using this tool especially since it's part of the npm install toolkit as it solves some really useful problems but the lack of engagement from the project maintainers is troubling. There's a bunch of open PRs including one (for Windows) that looks like it was ready to go and then abandoned (https://github.com/zkat/npx/pull/181).

So - what's the status of this project?

Sorry, it is far from being dead, we will get back to the issues and PR in two weeks (we will all be at a company offsite next week).

I highlighted the importance of this issue #100 (which may have a fix in #181) to downstream Create React App: https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/issues/6512

The issue creates a pretty bad first impression of node/npx.

@fharper well, it's been a month since you posted....

fharper commented 5 years ago

Sorry, I got laid off by npm, and as much as I like npx, it's not a personal priority for me!

jnardone commented 5 years ago

oh shit. sorry, buddy. best of luck to you.

michelcve commented 5 years ago

Sorry to hear @fharper ... @zkat Anyone else running this now? Since I do have to agree that this project seems quite dead now...

(and yes, I'm also one of many that really would like to see the windows path issue fix merged :-))
