NOT actively developed

[notramo]

Please change the README. It states that this library is actively developed, which is not the case.

[jgillich]

I see no such claim. Also not sure why you felt the need to create this issue when you've contributed nothing yourself.

@jgillich, look at this:

• latest shard release was 2 years ago
• Possible Memory leak #52 seems critical, and it did not even receive a comment
• code frequency does not look active

I did not mean to disregard your work which I highly respect. However, when the stats are so low, the maintenance status of the project should be more clearly communicated.

• Reason the lack of commits. Are all planned features implemented? If yes, then please indicate that the project is on feature hold, and is stable and mature.
• How are PRs handled? Are they reviewed and merged if someone puts the work in? It can be less motivating for someone to work on a project if the activity is low, with the risk of their work not being accepted.
• Are there features since the last release that one may want to use? If no, then having a release 2 years ago is not much of a deal, especially if the project is on feature hold. However, if yes, then it indicates lack of active maintenance.

The claim is in the comparison table in the README in https://github.com/graphql-crystal/graphql/tree/01eeb92cc4cac2f60e11a0a1ef80f9d23ba7ab1b/
which is the latest release linked from Shardbox: https://shardbox.org/shards/graphql
If it's changed since, then please release a new version.

So are you offering to step up? I don't owe you anything. Welcome to open source.

You were able to figure out that there hasn't been much activity lately, so are others.

[notramo]

You did not answer my questions. Yes, I figured out there is not much activity, but as I explained in this comment, this can mean multiple situations. Which one applies to this project?

[jgillich]

Do you see open PRs? Contributions are welcome, demands are not.

[jgillich]

See, you treat me like I'm responsible for maintaining this project, like it's my job. It's not. I built this a few years ago and put it on the internet because I thought it would be useful to others. That's it. I never promised to maintain it till the end of times. I certainly don't need to respond to open issues if I don't want to. Development will happen if someone steps up and does the work, but not sooner. You will find that it works this way with most projects.

That's what I was curious about.

Anyway, thanks for your work.
