🚨 Looking for more maintainers 🚨

[mweststrate]

Hi all,

Over the pasts months it has become clear I don't have enough time to give MobX-state-tree the attention it deserves, which results in question remaining unanswered for too long. And although @robinfehr and @mattiamanzati stepped in, I think the package needs more maintainers.

I'm pretty sure there are many people who have more practical experience with the package then I have, so please step up if you have used this package with success so far!

If you find diving into the code base to scary, just answering open, common questions and triaging bug reports would already be a great help!

I'm always around :)

@Bnaya, yes, noticed, and thanks for that! I've send an Github invite, that will make it even more easy :)

We (@orballo, @DAreRodz and me) are migrating a big project from Redux to MST. We love MST and we'd sure love to contribute more to the project. But time on startups is always scarce and Typescript is a big drawback. Neither of us knows it, nor have the time to learn it right now. So we can't contribute to the code or answer Typescript related issues but we'll try to help with the other issues!! :)

Hi! I have been using MST for a couple projects and it has been absolutely terrific so far. Sad to hear that development has stalled on it but that’s how stuff goes, to much to do too little time, thanks for all the hard work getting it here!

I’ve been working on a .d.ts type declaration wrapper around MST that uses the upcoming Typescript 2.8 conditional types to improve type safety.

I can look around to see if there is any open tickets on that (on mobile at the moment) and try to help there since it has definitely been a huge improvement to typesafety in the projects I have been testing it out in. In general I could definitely help out with Typescript expertise if that’s needed.

What is the best way to step up?

[caesarsol]

Hi @mweststrate, I don't have much time either but I'll stay around as well!
I can help in triaging bug reports and reviewing PRs for now, will try to drop some code in the future.

[Bnaya]

@benjaminjackman would love to see your progress on that!

[benjaminjackman]

@Bnaya I made an issue for using Conditional Types #705 My implementation is still really more of a rough draft. I am able to use it for a couple of my projects but I need to clean it up quite a bit.

Update: I've made a package h-mst that facades the import {types} from ... and published it here: https://yarnpkg.com/en/package/h-mst

We are in the process of refactoring our main application to MST at Collage.com. Some of us may be able to contribute, but we are new to MST right now. We are particularly interested in helping with any performance optimizations.

Hey folks!

Thanks for all the positive responses! Really encouraging :) Everyone who responded above should have gotten a maintainers invite to this repository. Which means you will have full control over issues, and can push code, create branches etc. (Especially the last is way easier for collaboration then running your own forks)!

@robinfehr and me are currently compiling an overview of the status of the repo, and that should help to address any open issues in a more organized manner. Don't worry, there will be enough things to choose from :)

We are migrating our React app to MST in my company and we love it. I'm new to Typescript right now but I'm interested to contribute to the project.

how can i help you with project? always wanted to take part in OSS for growing developer skills. danpan@yandex.ru

[robinfehr]

@danpan1 https://github.com/mobxjs/mobx-state-tree/projects/1 here you can find issues which are good to chime in :)

[alexvcasillas]

I'll try to help with whatever I can in terms of usage and practical experience.
I'm also going to give a try to dive into the code base to see if I'm able to help with something!
