Is this project still alive?

[tianhuidong]

Hi, I found this project recently and love it. I plan to re-write all our shiny projects using it, then our projects can also be used on mobile which my boss will like. After some tries, I found this project has not been updated for 2 years, and some promised features are still not available. So, what's your plan for the future of this project? Is that any alternate for it?

Hi,

thanks for using shinyMobile!

shinyMobile isn't dead, even though not updated for a long time. Few reasons below:

• Currently, Framework7 (shinyMobile is all based on this) isn't updated ...
• ... and the latest Framework7 update (v8) introduces a lot of breaking changes without bringing too many outstanding features (does not really justify to upgrade). shinyMobile is still based on v5.14.
• At the moment, I don't have time to take care of this. Feel free to open a PR if you want to help, there are many good issues to fix.
• The limits I see with shinyMobile: even though it is looking good, we are still quite far from the native mobile apps since shinyMobile don't provide access the device API (make your phone vibrate for instance, push notifications, ...), they can't be shared on the AppStore, and partially handle offline situations thanks to the PWA support. In the end, very few people are using shinyMobile.
• The only thing I am looking forward is a possible integration with webR to allow a totally offline shinyapp powered by shinyMobile.

That said, the package is functional for most cases.

and some promised features are still not available

Can you elaborate more on this? Nothing has been promised (?)

Thanks for your rapid response! I read somewhere said it will include animation when changing tabs as planned, so I thought that feature still not exist, maybe I am wrong. :-) Great work!
