Only when it stopped working with Rails 6.1 I noticed that best_in_place is one of my most important tools. I am simply not good enough to help, but I would love to see it being continued.

No news?

Seems like this project is dead 😢

If you look at the commit history, there ist almost no activity since 2017.

The issue tracker also speaks for itself. Tickets about deprecation warnings, problems with webpacker ...

I think it is best to look for alternatives. There are some alternatives mentioned in #620, but the comments are from 2019 and maybe a bit dated. Does somebody know if these alternatives can still be recommended?

@diesl I didn't have tested it yet, but probably I will migrate to https://github.com/wbotelhos/inplace

@hashtegner Thanks for the suggestion, but Inplace does not seem very alive too. So I doubt it is a good alternative ...

Hey guys, I guess that even though the project seems dead, it is still pretty usable.
I included in my new rails project last year, and did some updates for Webpack and Turbo as linked in #620 .

This projet, or its implementation is getting "dated" with JQuery. I wrote custom "modern" code to extend it to replace images and ActionText with Trix with StimulusReflex.

I think that an «update» would be to write another version using Turbo & Stimulus and update the Rails part.
I really like the design and ease of use of this library, but I get some strange issues in my app. I put a form instead and no one really noticed 🤷.
If we push more towards inplace editing in my app I will think about creating a Turbo/Stimulus version, that will include Image and Trix edition #606.

This is «good enough» for most modern uses, such a big update is not mandatory yet (not until JQuery gets illegal 😉).

Cheers.
Jeremy.
