Is that project still alive ? Last two commits are from march this year and then there's nothing all the way back to july '14

Maybe the autor thinks it is complete. EDIT: Oh wait, is the author in this thread? He can answer that.

  It is! I work on the dev branch and other branches when I'm making new changes. EDIT: I mostly use the library though (I use it everyday) rather than constantly develop new features.

    Sounds good, but I just looked at the dev branch. One small commit from 15 july 2015. then nothing till december '14 . This project is absolutely dead

      Perhaps you're confusing dead and stable?
  - mintwurm 11y ago
    Oh and the commit from last Wednesday was three lines long

      please stop trolling. I know you think you're on to something but you're really not.

        How can someone who voices genuine concerns be a troll ? I was actually interested in this framework. Right now I'm torn between pixi.js and easel.js , this seemed like a viable alternative. But before I start to invest time in a technology, I want to know if it's still alive. This project is definitely not finished (text rendering), far from polished (slow webgl implementation, see this thread) and has not been improved in half a year. Take a look at this: https://github.com/jonobr1/two.js/graphs/contributors https://github.com/jonobr1/two.js/graphs/contributors The whole thing was a one-man stunt and is obviously dead. Oh, and saying "I work on the dev branch" when the dev branch is just as abandoned as the rest of the code is a blatant lie. https://github.com/jonobr1/two.js/commits/dev https://github.com/jonobr1/two.js/commits/dev Sorry, but stuff like this just makes me angry. The javascript world is full of throwaway projects that die after a few months/years. At the same time there are true gems with really elegant code. Easel, Pixi, SnapSvg, they are amazing. Advertisement for a project like this is unfair and spreads confusion. If you need help, if you look for contributors, just say so. But don't pretend that your code is alive when it's actually cold legacy code.

        Submit a patch or go away if you have a problem. The world doesn't owe you free software.

        Self-entitled much? If the library doesn't suit your needs, just move on. There's no need to throw a tantrum about how a framework isn't tailored to your exact specifications, and how people aren't working hard enough so you can "invest" your oh-so-precious time in their unpaid effort.

        You seem to have already concluded that a project that isn't seeing rapid, active development, is not suited for use. There's a difference between "solid" and "moribund".

  It says in this thread that the library can't even draw text. That's far from complete
  - jasonkester 11y ago
    It can't play sound either. Nor can it send or receive email. That still doesn't mean it's not complete.
