Is it still maintained?

[rgeronimi]

Project has not received updates for more than one year, is it still maintained? Or should we migrate to another framework (unfortunately I could not find a framework with such a good functionality per byte or complexity ratio)?

I've recently updated Spectre to v0.6.0, see https://github.com/niutech/spectre

@niutech How does your fork compare to this seemingly abandoned fork? https://spectre.angular-package.dev/

[niutech]

@qgustavor Angular-package's spectre.min.css is whooping 230KB in size, while mine is only 45 KB.

[qgustavor]

@niutech Isn't because it does have more features? I use Spectre with a dead code removal tool so file size is not an issue for me. 😕

[niutech]

@qgustavor It's mainly because Angular-package uses CSS variables instead of SASS variables. These aren't removed by dead code tools.

[qgustavor]

@niutech Seems to be a good thing, no? Better than having to use SASS. Just find one tool that removes them, there should be at least one that does that.

Edit: there is PurgeCSS, which is the one I use on the website I use Spectre.

[niutech]

@qgustavor If you want to load bigger CSS file with CSS variables, then use Angular-package's Spectre, it's up to you.

[qgustavor]

@niutech So your fork only have the smaller file size as a good point? Like, just that? Something PurgeCSS than take care? No night mode or fixes to bugs in Spectre?

[niutech]

@qgustavor Not only, e.g.: pure CSS tabs, added column order classes, .card-shadow class, Heart, Show and Hide icons, updated dependencies. But use whatever suits you well.

[qgustavor]

@niutech that's what I was wanting to know, smaller file size while having some new features. Night mode is in the works? To be fair the main thing I expect from a fork is that.
