Package Maintenance/Ping

[JakeRuth]

Hi!

First off, thank you so much for writing this and maintaining it for years. I work at Oscar health and this is helping us implement powerful and great UI features!

That being said, the last time this package was updated was two years ago!
https://www.npmjs.com/package/textarea-caret

I am having some issues, that appear to be known where there are bugs when the text area begins to scroll/overflow:
Ex: #51

This is just one of many open bugs (and 5 open PRs).

Is there any plan to continue maintenance on this/fix these bugs? If not I'd be interesting in seeing how we can continue on this project and put it in a place where it can continue to be updated/used. Seems like a lot of people like/need this!

It doesn't feel great to write code around a lib (a nice lib!), and it seems it shouldn't be a ton of work to get in some of these bug fixes.

Thank you,
Jake

Thanks for the interest, @JakeRuth!

I've done some digging and,

1. We need access to the repo's settings to put up a proper demo/test.
2. We need access to publish new versions of the package on NPM.

I no longer have an ongoing active interest in this project, so I may not be the best person to resume maintenance lead.

That's very helpful!
I have a lot of frontend/JS experience, but I have never been the publisher of an package (however I am confident I can learn how to quick).

That being said I see your replies, hopefully they will be answered! If not, I'll consider forking this (will give it a couple weeks).

@JakeRuth Did you end up thinking about a fork?
