Tui-rs: Inactivity TUI
Good day,
I talked to some people and saw some comments about the inactivity of TUI. There are some problems that people see:
- No release in 3 months
- Pull requests remain open for a long time
- Issues remain open for a long time
- Dependencies are lagging behind
It would be a waste if a cool crate such as TUI were to go into thin air. That's why I and others wonder how much motivation, time, sense there is left of you to finish this library. I don't know what the reason for the inactivity is, but I know that there are always people who might want to help reduce the work pressure. There are a number of ways that that can happen:
- Create a GitHub organization and add trusted maintainers so this library can grow further without the need for you to put in more work.
- A fork can be made and development can move on from there, but that wouldn't be the best idea because there would be two libraries doing the same thing.
- Ask if the CLI workgroup would like to take over work or manage this crate.
- Ask on Reddit if there are volunteers that want to help.
- Invest some more time yourself.
I would like to hear your reaction on this, and on how we can bring some life back into this library. You've done a great job so far, let's keep it up!

Hi. Finding a good balance between my personal life, a demanding full-time job and open-source projects is a difficult thing to do. It's true that I have not been able to dedicate much time to this project in recent months. The fact I had never thought this project would get that much attention and that it is part of an ecosystem I don't have the chance to use in my day-to-day job does not help either.
I will try to resume a more active presence because I'm still interested in the project and its future. You reaching out and the community showing its interest is also a big motivation to invest back some time. I'm also all for bringing more direct contributors to the project. I don't know if a GitHub organization is needed for that or how the vetting process would go but I would encourage all people interested in an active role in this project to manifest themselves.

Take care, we understand very well as it's a very shared problem.
If you'd like to discuss tui-rs contributions, or rust, or programming, there are a few open chats, like for example
- the crossterm discord channel (Timon is Crossterm's leader): https://discordapp.com/channels/560857607196377088/560857607196377090
- la salle miaou "code & croissants", une salle café pour codeurs et sympathisants (que je gère): https://miaou.dystroy.org/3
