React-day-picker: Release Plan

[glockjt]

How often do you plan to release changes? There is a backlog of PRs that are pilling up. It would be nice to get some of these fixes into master.

Hey @glockjt thanks for asking!

I enjoy maintaining this project but lately I haven’t had much time. The more I leave this repo alone, the more daunting is to start working on it again 😅 I found the courage to look at the issues/PRs: it is not that bad as I thought. It is rewarding to see people care about its progress.

Updates are coming in the next months as I think I'll have some more free time 🙏

Open to accept the help of more maintainers!

For example, which bots could help me organizing the issues?

Here some of the stuff I'd like to work on:

• remove the input component, it is really a bad idea
• make sure timezone issues are fixed / UTC mode
• maybe a better website, with versioning support (docusaurus? react-docgen?)
• what are labels that could actually help?
• move to typescript?
• do github’s “project” make sense? Would they help organizing the releases?
• find a better name for the concept of “modifier”
• add functional tests
• use jest snapshots in tests
• move to rollup
• better issues template (copy from famous repos)
• review styling customization

All the points you make sound reasonable. Especially first class typescript support would be awesome!
I can imagine the daunting task to keep incoming issues low, so don't feel bad for taking some time off, especially if you do something for free! You do a great job :)

@gpbl Sorry for the delayed response. I would be willing to help out and maintain this repo, maybe we could have a conversation some time to discuss what this would entail if I started helping you maintain.

[davidspiess]

Since our company relies heavily on your component, i could help out too!
