![]() The fundamental problem here is that you're saying the profit incentive doesn't exist for you to put your time into it. ![]() Don't you think you could MAKE a LOT OF MONEY with this extremely popular product?įor that "free time" you pay rent, food, electricity, etc. Literally one of the most backwards non-sense logic statements I've ever read. give many more people permissions to this project and unblock everything that right now blocks new release (immediately), unblock people from maintaining nightly build (or does that Mac Mini even exist still?), and let community move this project forward.Īs I said, sorry if it offended you, and let's chat personally if you want.īut also let's face the truth and not say but the project isn't dead.), join the community driven (not few people driven) fork and be one of the core maintainers even there - but only if you want and have time accept that you don't have time for this (and no, preparing Sequel Pro for ARM isn't something you should be focusing on right now - it needs to fix deprecations, it needs to move to ARC.500 stars on Github in one week speaks to itself. You get all the credit in Sequel Ace, there wasn't any intention to "steal it", it was just the right move. It might become alive again, and don't get me wrong - I would love that! - but as any other OSS that should live - it first needs active maintainers, more people with access and permissions, and proper releases. When I saw people are interested in having Sequel Pro running, and as it is open source and should/could be driven by community - I just helped them to drive people to the new project and announced the reality - that this is dead project. There were obvious options and solutions for me - do nothing as I did for years waiting for you to at least open Slack and let others know not through third person, or do something. So Sequel Pro ended in a state with 4 years and 3 months without proper release, 1200 issues, almost hundred of open PRs, 7.8k stars, and community that became unhappy as expected. This is 15 months ago - since then: 0 messages on Slack, 0 activity on Github, even stopped pushing commits and clearing things up, and releases didn't happen.I'm still trying to help setup succession on the project, but I'm moving towards not being a core member of the team if that helps clear things up. ![]() As I mentioned last year, I'm no longer going to work on Sequel Pro and will focus on other projects and family. We may have to drop a few things (localisation, some of the nightly fix backlog bugs) just to get the release out the door. March 12, 2019, sent a message to Slack about you as well - Another update from me, I've recently spoken to Abhi and he mentioned he'd find some time to help get out this next release.Please ask me if something is blocking you. Well, even his description of Slack says Help the Sequel Pro project move onto new leadership. Ma posted to the Slack community that he is able to give someone permissions to get release out, to help setup nightly builds again, and to move this project somewhere.beginning 2019 Nightly builds stopped working and on Slack there was a discussion about what to do next - fix the server? Find another way? And who will be able to do release - does anyone have access?.was pushing some commits, fixing stuff, but keeping it only on master. ![]() year(s) ago I joined SequelPro community and Slack, and really soon figured out no one is really active.I'm also working on things with my career and family life and expect to be able to dedicate a lot more time to Sequel Pro in the near If you want, we can chat on Slack instead of here, but to be clear why all this happened, let's recap some stuff: For example since WWDC I've been working out exactly what is required to be done to ensure the app works well on both Mac OS 11 and on ARM processors. I personally haven't had nearly as much time as I would like, but I have always put as much time as I can into Sequel Pro and will continue to do so. It's a matter of people with free time to contributing to the project. Sequel Pro hasn't been worked on in a long time, but the project isn't dead and I do intend to continue development.Īs for what it would cost, it's not a matter of money (though obviously money is helpful). You're implying a level of endorsement which simply doesn't exist (at least not right now. I don't have any problem at all with anyone creating a fork, but it's not acceptable to update the readme or spam the Sequel Pro issue tracker with a bot referencing the fork.
