Dear @themsaid,
This package is very popular, do you have any plans to continue developing and handling issues and PRs?

mrneatly commented

Also interested in this topic. @themsaid do you need some help in supporting this package?

Bump this question.

Any news on this?

Is it worth creating a fork to continue @themsaid good work?

tvbeek commented

I did have some content with @themsaid on Twitter ( https://twitter.com/tvbeek/status/1582030207627956224 ) and I did review some PR's and send him an email but after that I didn't receive any reaction.

Before creating a fork it is important to know some things:

  1. Who is interesting in maintaining the fork? (Multiple people working together is most of the time preferable)
    1. Who off them has experience maintaining an opensource project.
  2. What will be the plan for this package (keep it working or adding more features)
  3. Will @themsaid not adding other maintainers to this package? (Because that will be more useful for the users)

I'm open to help maintain a fork if someone is willing to do it.

tvbeek commented

I have send a tweet to @themsaid about it ( https://twitter.com/tvbeek/status/1630307432638365696 )

If there is no response I think it is wise to start a fork and maintain it with a group.

For anyone interested you can send me an email (see my profile for my email address https://github.com/tvbeek ).

Hey guys. Thank you for your patience.

I've been using Wink on weekly basis all this time. It works great and is used by many people without issues. It feels complete for me and I don't have ideas for anything major to add.

It is not abandoned, it's complete.

I built Wink to help people include blogs easily into their Laravel applications. I believe the mission is accomplished.

If you want to add any major changes, feel free to fork it. That's why open-source is amazing.

I'm currently working on Wink for introducing a few minor enhancements to cater for some needs I have at the moment. Nothing major. Don't expect something major :)

@tvbeek What about we fork the repo and start maintaining it?

Dear @themsaid
Thank you for developing this package.
Although I don't agree with you about it being perfect and many people using it without problems. In any case, every package needs care and maintenance.

Well, in my opinion, this issue does not need to be continued. 🙂

We currently see some activity and a new tag. For me it means that for now I don't see a direct reason to fork. We will see what the future will bring.
