Seeking Maintainers

[oyejorge]

Bug description

I no longer have time to maintain Tom Select

Expected behavior

We need one (or more) experienced TS developers with spare time to take over

Steps to reproduce

Start open source project, invest time, work/life take over, os project suffers...

Additional context

Who made this issue tracker anyways!

👋 I use this library and IMO it's the best option for someone not looking to drag in React/etc. While I candidly can't commit huge amounts of time (so I definitely won't be doing wholesale refactors/rewrites), I'd love to help fix up small bugs.

I'm currently facing orchidjs/unicode-variants#2, which is a blocker for me since it's a transitive dependency of tom-select. That's a separate project, but still under the same org, so I'm hopeful that I could contribute fixes there as well.

Could you clarify what level of involvement you're looking for in a maintainer? That is, if I can submit PRs, test my own code, prove that it's working as intended, and so on, are you willing to rubber-stamp, merge, and publish to npm? Or are you looking for someone to take full repo/npm permissions? I'd prefer the former, but would be willing to do the latter if required.

[oyejorge]

Looking for the latter. There are quite a few existing pull requests and issues that need attention.

[nwalters512]

Gotcha. It looks like the existing PRs aren't horribly complex. I'd like to volunteer, though hopefully some others can chip in to share the load as well.

@oyejorge I got the org invite - thanks! How do you want to handle npm publishes?

[oyejorge]

Just sent you an invite for npm. Running the ./release.sh bash script will do most of the work

[nwalters512]

Perfect, thank you. I accepted it. How about for other packages like https://github.com/orchidjs/unicode-variants?

[oyejorge]

Right. Just sent an invite for the other packages

Many thanks! I should be good now. Assuming there's no one else to review my own changes, I'll go ahead and start doing things, sound good? Hopefully I manage to not break anything 🙂

This is awesome. I use tom-select and its one of the best libraries out there. I am not a js/ts expert but will keep an eye on issues and see if I can contribute. Thanks for taking this on @nwalters512

I agree, from my point of view it is one of the best libraries for fancy selects. Thanks @nwalters512 for taking over and thanks @oyejorge for all the effort you put into it.

@oyejorge Thank you for creating this library! I've enjoyed using it in my projects for nearly 2 years ❤️

@nwalters512 Thank you for taking this on! I am glad we can continue using Tom Select 😊
