It seems that the Kadira team is no longer fixing issues. That would be fine, but they’re also no longer merging pull requests, or even answering their emails about this package.
As some have been stressing in the issue, some effort should go into finding someone willing to carry the Flow Router flag where it has been dropped. I’d personally be willing to. But it’s pretty hard to have this discussion when the original authors won’t answer this email about such an important community package.
Some in the community said this already when iron router was there. Now iron router is deprecated in favor of the much lighter flowRouter. ReactRouter is now also an alternative that gains much momentum right now and can be used also outside of meteor
It’s sometimes better to have competition, rather to enforce an official component like a router.
There’s not much to explain. You just have to bite the bullet and migrate to React Router. The reason I say it’s not as user friendly is that whereas FlowRouter usually has an easy enough API to do various things, React Router is very “React-y” and requires using things like higher-order components which are not very intuitive when you’re just getting started. But at least you know that you’re doing things the “correct” way for the React ecosystem.
Looks like the Kadira team went off to do Storybook and are completely ignoring all messages about their previous work. That is really sad, since they were such an important part of the community here. Now we can’t even get a single message out of him.
Sad indeed. Now if you’d like to contribute to FineRouter (aka FlowRouter), please PM me on here or github and I’ll give you a contributor role or just submit a PR and if it makes sense I’ll pull.
