Add maintainers

[paulirish]

Rik, can you add a few people to push/pull (or admin) access on this repo? It'd be good to merge in hotfixes and such

I'd suggest adding: @TiddoLangerak @alessioalex @cptroot in the org.

I would love to help out here! That would probably be more productive than maintaining a separate fork.

[alessioalex]

Yeah totally, me too!

I've got changes that I'd love to work with other people to bring to the root.

I think it might take a while until we get assigned as collabarators, since this account doesn't seem to be active anymore. Perhaps we can already start working together in one of the forks? We can then merge it back if/when we get in contact with Rik.

[paulirish]

I pinged Rik about this already and he said yes.

Not sure why he hasn't added ya'll yet…

Well I'm hoping this project continues. I was one of the few (too few I guess :) ) to buy it when it came out and wrote a blog post about it http://blog.whydoifollow.com/post/an-arrow-in-the-developers-quiver-tracegl I found it really useful. I have a copy of Webstorm with Spy-js but noticed that spy-js isn't open source so you need one of their products to use it (and I'd prefer something not tied to an ide :) ). If you want feel free to link to the blog post (I need to update it as the trace.gl site is no longer up) as sometimes documentation on how to use something is the biggest barrier to adoption.

Did everyone lose hope? Is there a replacement for this project?

[paulirish]

lost hope +1. I think we need someone to fork and help migrate people to the new destination.

[jcrben]

looking at http://forked.yannick.io/traceglMPL/tracegl it seems https://github.com/alessioalex/tracegl/commits/master has a few extra commits

there's also https://github.com/spy-js/spy-js which fulfills a similar purpose

@TiddoLangerak @alessioalex @cptroot @paulirish - is there a need for this to be forked and worked on or is this way out of date. If it is out of date, are there other tools out there that can be used to visualize JS execution?

[TiddoLangerak]

@pertrai1 to revive this project we would need to find someone that can put a significant amount of time in it. I tried to revive it a few years ago, but back then I ranto into the problem that there was way more to do than I had time to fix. In the years since this hasn't become easier, and moreover JS itself has evolved quite a bit further (which is very relevant for this project). Reviving this project would be a major undertaking. Unfortunately I also don't know of any other tools that do this, let alone as well as tracegl does.

I haven't looked at the story of spy-js, but it's a working plugin for webstorm.
Sadly is just as old as tracegl.
