Is Semantic UI development dead ?

[GuacheSuede]

@jlukic 's last commit was 5/6 months ago and even then did not have many improvements nor much changes.

What would be the status of Semantic UI especially with Bootstrap having much more development than this ? Is it in active development or are any features planed for the near future ?

Note: This open source project goes dead without @jlukic or @quirkyjack , zero developement, zero updates, and for nearly a year at that. Even pull requests are not moving. Could there perhaps be a solution to this ?

Please do not say plans for something, for that might be for another half a year of waiting with no promises or answers

There will be a meeting at 6PM EST tomorrow on Hangouts !

I hope to volunteer to maintain/run this project if @jlukic does not have the time for it

Many many people are same interrogation : Semantic UI is great framework (with default but lot of good points). I'm really sad to see development stopped. For development (newer), using a framework without news about futur is not attractive.

Same here I'd love to see semantic continue its development.
Maybe the semantic team works on something huge, like a V3 ?

[GuacheSuede]

@etshy not in the Semantic-Org Repo, and @jlukic activity has been low too.

[jeveloper]

Nothing since august last year

I've decided to move to material ui, this isnt worth investing time

I would however be happy to pay an annual fee for a premium plan that will guarantee bug fixes and improvements.

@jeveloper I agree. perhaps a fork could be created

[arjarn]

Agree too. I'm developper and do little stuff for fun. This month, I begin new project (not for work) and have to choose between SUI and Metro-UI CSS V4 (I'm already using V3). Finally I choose Metro-UI : lot of high level components and very active developper.

Too bad : I like SUI, it's very good framework but no dev and with time, chatroom become empty... so no support.

For fork, possible if people are ready to participate...

[GuacheSuede]

@arjarn Do you happen to know what is needed for Semantic UI to be better ?

[arjarn]

In my opinion, SUI is almost perfect ^^
But :

• be more easily customisable (skin) : actually it's difficult to modify color or add background on component (or I'm bad... possible because newer with SUI ;-) )
• several components missing (need 3rd party now) : date / time picker or have image slideshow.

But it's my feeling after my poor SUI experience, why don't making "BOX IDEA" here or elsewhere ?

PS : sorry for my poor english.

I have been considering making a fork for a while now and I would love to help get peoples features added and patch the current bugs.

I have some knowledge for the semantic code base but I will have to learn some more before I make a fork.

I will 100% make a fork if people are willing to contribute. 😃

@hammy2899 Count me in, I think it's doable.
