Dicontinued? Advice on canvas development?

vogelino opened this issue · 2 comments

Hi! I am looking into a cycle.js solution for canvas. However, this package indicates being highly experimental and hasn't been updated for years. Has someone collected experience with it on production or is there another solution out there? If not, do you think that this indicates that cycle.js/RFP isn't appropriate for working with canvas and what better approaches/paradigms do you suggest? I really like cycle.js's mental model and would like to know the reason of its lack of adoption when working with html canvas. Any advices?

Thank you!

While it has been literally years since I touched this package, I seem to remember that it is experimental mostly in the sense that makes you worry. It hasn't seen enough "production use" and so its API has not been set in stone (and is therefor experimental).
That's not to say it can't meet your needs, but that's something you'd have to figure out on your own I'm afraid. I wouldn't be surprised that the reason for "its lack of adoption when working with html canvas" is simply that no one has done it enough yet, and I wholeheartedly encourage you to be that person (assuming you can afford to be adventurous).

Thx @grozen for your answer. This is what I expected. I would really like to be this person. I’m not sure to be able to afford to be adventurous on this project. If it happens at any moment in time I’ll make sure to tell about my experience with it on this issue. :)
