Still maintained?
emanuelen5 opened this issue · 4 comments
I am developing a plugin with almost identical feature set Word-highlighter (name subject to change) and wanted to publish my package on Package Control and therefore issued a pull request. However, the maintainers quickly noted that my package is eerily similar to yours.
They therefore suggested that I should reach out to you and see if you are still maintaining this package, as well if you accept pull requests. I however do not feel like taking your package and turning it into mine since that would require a lot of work for me (writing test cases all over etc.).
Do you feel like our plugins are too similar to coexist on PC (don't consider the name - it will change before being published on PC)?
I am not the owner but was an contributor.
I installed Word-highlighter and played around a bit. Some comments:
- Good see the color palette is configurable through the file (that has been long-requested here). It will be even better if the file is accessible from the menu.
- "Edit highlight color" doesn't work for some color schemes.
- I personally feel the keys are too long. Using the menu to edit it, I got "error: The settings file "res://Packages/word_highlighter/Controls/Default (Windows).sublime-keymap" could not be opened".
Hi, thanks for the comments.
- Sure, I can add the scheme template to the menu.
- This is hard to investigate without more details.
- Fixed the error and added test cases for it.
You’re welcome to submit issues to the Github page if you have any more comments or suggestions.
@emanuelen5 Sorry for the late response. I've invite you as a collaborator, please feel free to make your changes.
Sure, I can be a collaborator. However, I do not think our plugins are similar enough to be completely merged. Also, adding coverage testing etc. would be too much work for me.
