Maintenance Hiatus & Future Plans

[isaackogan]

Hello,

I recognize that there are a lot of issues with the library right now. My current plans are as follows, in order of priority:

1. Redo the library to support ALL protobuf definitions (monolithic task)
2. Add dynamic updating of protobuf for future
3. Add backwards compatibility to allow for 3 months deprecation of old system
4. Update documentation to reflect new definitions (massive task)
5. Swap websockets library with websocket-client library for websockets
6. Add proxy support for the whole library
7. Release a beta version & have people test on it
8. Try to replicate current bugs on beta version & patch the ones that remain
9. Replace the unreleased 'live check' on master branch with a better, less intrusive version.

I don't expect this to be released or even started until December. I am a university student, and TikTokLive (Python) is a solo project. The sheer volume of changes on top of being a full-time student (currently with a 4.0 GPA), having a part-time job, and personal responsibilities / social life, make an update utterly impossible right now.

December is when I get my break. I look forward to using everything I've learned in the last year to deliver the best version of TikTokLive to date.

Thanks Isaac for dedicating so much time into this project. Is there any pointers we can refer to if we'd like to contribute and help you bring this project forward? Where can we get started?
