Is go-app still an active project?

[cyertai]

Wondering if this project is still active? Forgive me for filling up the issues list.

It is. I wonder why you think it may not? Answering this question may help to spread the word about Go-App :)

Currently, the next release is prepared by the owner of the project @maxence-charriere. You may want to look into #875 for this and at the related v10 branch.

FYI: We (METATEXX GmbH) are working on multiple production level applications using go-app and are sponsoring the project too. Myself is using it for multiple mostly private projects which are mostly AI related. Those projects are all not public available though. But we made some demos/proof of concepts of the technology stack.

Hello @cyertai,

Absolutely, go-app development is still on the move. It’s the backbone of my main project, Murlok.io.

I make it a point to go through all the issues and pull requests. I’m quite selective about what gets included, aiming to preserve the project’s quality and direction. Balancing the time between responding, troubleshooting, and integrating new features is quite the task. And to be upfront, this open-source project alone does not sustain my life. So, while I review every contribution, I focus on those that resonate most with me and tackle them as time allows.

I’m really thankful for the support from the community, especially from folks like @oderwat and @mlctrez. Their use of go-app, insightful feedback, and assistance in addressing issues enrich the project far beyond what I could achieve on my own.

It’s been an 8-year journey with go-app, seeing its evolution and how it’s enabled me to realize my dream: creating a product that offers a unique experience, enjoys user appreciation, and sustains my livelihood.

My commitment to go-app is here and is not going anywhere.

@oderwat and @maxence-charriere ,

Thanks for getting back to me - I'm excited to start digging in. The reason I asked at all is I saw it had been 6 months since the last commit to main / master, and was hesitant to invest in learning a new tool if it was going to be unsupported.

This is a great project, with active contributors, but I would bare in mind their limitations also, looking at the issue tracker is a great way to get a grasp of the usability issues arisen from common users.

Also If you aren't familiar with the reactivity principals there is a learning curve to go through,
Like with the use of the react framework.

It was heavily inspired by react at the beginning.
