Is this project actively maintained? about colmena

Thanks @beeman , I appreciate greatly your effort and all other maintainers/collaborators of this project :)

@beeman why don't you try the new OnixJS Platform? The SDK runs on any front-end framework is lighter, faster, smaller and runs on nodejs and even nativescript and reactnative, you might have much more flexibility for more complex solutions.

Try running the examples we have already

https://github.com/onixjs/examples

I mean other frameworks are fine but based on the lb sdk dependency I can definitely guarantee migration to OnixJS will be much easier than to any other framework

The only challenge I see for you is to implement your own authentication mechanism, in the case you don't want to use the OIDC SSO Service we will be providing very soon, which will be free only for 100 users, though we might provide a basic auth mechanism for free.

So yeah, as the state of the repo shows there is currently no active work being done.

There are several reasons for that, one of the things is the upcoming release of LB4, and I'm unsure if there are upgrade paths and if I'm interested in building with that version altogether.

Another important thing to realise is that the fireloop project is retired and the sdk builder from that project will no longer be maintained. This is currently the glue between the front and back so an essential component.

I have been exploring several different API projects and I came to the conclusion that it might be best to focus on building an awesome Angular admin project and try to abstract away the backend so it can be used with multiple backends.

Currently these are only ideas, I have no code to prove that that idea works as good as expected but it should be quite doable I'd say.

I honestly hope that this won't be a big deal for people.

Please let me know if there are any more questions.

Thanks for the kind words @rvalenciano - I really appreciate it!

At this moment I'm looking at working with nestjs/nest and Angular, I just set up a monorepo here.

If I find some time and use case in the future I might try and get the ideas I had with Colmena out with Nest + Angular.
