Description

As you may have noticed, this project isn't actively maintained right now.

  • @acdlite personally doesn't use redux-router anymore (correct me if I got that wrong :sweat_smile:) and doesn't have time to maintain it.
  • I comment and merge some smaller PRs when I get around it, but I'm really busy with other things too.
  • @Scarysize has been helping out a lot lately and I'm really thankful, he has been keeping this project alive.

@jlongster developed a project called redux-simple-router - it is a lot smaller (and thus, easier to maintain) than redux-router. Some people already switched to that.

It seems like a better solution (redux-router re-implements a lot of features that history and react-router already do), so it probably makes sense to combine the projects (read: replace redux-router with redux-simple-router)

What do you think? Is there anything missing in redux-simple-router that redux-router has? Just let me know in a comment here.

PS: I haven't managed to get a hold of @acdlite yet, but once he gets online on discord I'll talk to him about it. (or he can just comment here :smile:)
