Hi everyone,
since I don't work with JavaFX (or GUI applications, or that matter)
anymore, it is hard for me to keep up with the maintenance of my JavaFX
projects. I am therefore looking for new maintainers (and possibly new
home) of my most active JavaFX project, RichTextFX (
https://github.com/TomasMikula/RichTextFX/), and its essential dependency,
Flowless (https://github.com/TomasMikula/Flowless/).
I want to thank Jordan Martinez, who has been doing the bulk of
fixing bugs and reviewing pull requests for the past two years.
I am hoping that either some bigger user of RichTextFX, or a UI framework
for which RichTextFX would be an attractive addition to the portfolio,
would step forward and take it up. Jordan and I are happy to help with the
transfer.
Best regards,
Tomas
I've been maintaining this (and other FXMisc projects) since Tomas stopped maintaining it (though I've contributed little in the past few months), but I've also decided to go a different route from here. Rather than continuing to use a JVM language and JavaFX to build my GUI program, I've decided to start using Purescript and Halogen instead.
Due to the influence of Tomas' FP-style of coding and further investigating and agreeing with the FP paradigm, I had hoped to use more FP constructs using Scala and Scalaz. In workings towards a (at least, what I now understand to be) React-like framework for JavaFX (see JavaFXFunctional's Design Goals) and realizing that Scala was not a good language for FP, I thought it would be easier to learn web technologies and use Halogen rather than port that framework to Scala, Scalaz and JavaFX. The idea of Progressive Web Apps replacing Native apps and The Birth and Death of Javascript have further influenced me in that regard.
As such, I will no longer be making any effort towards fixing bugs or responding to any questions regarding this project. Someone else will need to step up.
