Current status of the project?

Open peta opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

Hello everybody,

I am wondering what the current status of this awesome project is. The latest commit is almost half a year ago and unfortunately no news on your website of somewhere else. Of course I am totally aware that developing and maintaining such a project is a huge burden and even more work to do, so I think most of us (users) would understand if lack of time would be cause for the project stagnation.

Anyway, I am looking forward to a alive signal from the project maintainers along with a statement of future directions. 😎

Peter

Hi Peter,

I'm glad to hear that you like the project. There is a 0.9 release in the works that is undergoing internal testing now. We have a few more features to complete but anticipate a release to GitHub in October. In specific, this release contains:

  • Ability to customize the code generation experience and a UX to do the same
  • Advanced templating engine that lets you build templates with all sorts of logic built-in Javascript
  • Ability to work with Canvas apps
  • Ability to generate data for an entity or multiple entities
  • Ability to export/import entity data

Are you interested in contributing to this project? We are looking for help in maintaining and updating it long-term. As you've stipulated, this is a "volunteer" effort that has gotten less time than we had hoped in the last few months due to shifting priorities related to COVID-19.
