PROJECT IS DEAD?

...

[sitoexpress]

I would like to know something about it too

[notrealdev]

Looks like it's dead.
I turned to the Embla carousel for all my projects.
It's simple, fast, clean.
The author updates quickly and continuously

Very sad to hear this, i loved this project

[ttnbtfy]

Oh, Embla seems interesting

[florian-strasser]

What about sponsoring this project? Is the developer reading? :D

[Egpereira]

I'm currently a sponsor because I chose this library specifically due to its accessibility considerations, but it's sad to see the project doesn't seem to be getting any updates or attention at the moment :/

@NaotoshiFujita would it perhaps make sense to give an official statement on the project status and future plans? That would be great and surely helpful for the users of this project.

If it's a question of sponsoring, I guess people might be interested in sponsoring to keep the project alive?

[JPustkuchen]

I also wrote @NaotoshiFujita an email, but with no reply yet. Was anyone able to contact him on any channel to give some official feedback here? That would be very helpful.

[antonisntoulis]

Honestly he hasn't had any activity anywhere for the last couple of years, I hope everything is OK...

[JPustkuchen]

Does anyone know him personally? Perhaps someone could try to contact any of the other contributors?

Last activity was December 2022 here: https://naotoshifujita.com/blog/

Sad to see this go, we'd be interested in maintaining or supporting this project if needed. We use it on 20+ Shopify stores.

Same question, no library out there is at the same level for accessibility.

[bernhardberger]

looks dead to me tbh. last release was 2 years ago and even though a typescript fix got merged last year it never triggered a release.

[diplatonib]

@NaotoshiFujita, maybe you can find another maintainer and give him privileges to support the project?

[agldiasdigital]

It's a shame to see this project die, I was thinking about using it in a new project today...
Is there a possibility of a fork? (if that's even possible due to copyright issues)
Can anyone recommend another project that's as good as this one?

@agldiasdigital i was influenced by @notrealdev a bit further at top of this topic - Embla is a very good choice for sliders or carousels in general, maybe even better than splide when you use a javascript Framework. In a classic wordpress website this can be a bit more painful than splide where more parts work out of the box. But you can usually reuse your code once you did the work

[lbineau]

Be careful if you want accessibility built-in because from what I see Embla is just a bunch of div soup. (that was the real strength of Splide imo)
