Future of lntop

[edouardparis]

Current situation:

• @edouardparis is not using lnd anymore for his personal use.
• Code reviews takes time and commitment and sadly PRs with very valuable fix and features are stacking without being merged

Should we:

• merge after review all current request and do a new release.
• then archive the repository and give a link to forward user to an other fork ?

ping @rkfg and @hieblmi

Just out of curiosity, did you switch to another LN implementation or moved away from LN/Bitcoin completely? In the former case I think the architecture anticipates multiple supported backends even though only lnd is implemented.

Github supports renaming repositories so that the old links aren't broken and simply redirect to the new location. If you don't want to be strictly associated with lntop you can create an organization (github.com/lntop seems to be available?) and move the project there. Then you can give people access to commit, merge and such. I use lntop daily and write in Go professionally at work so I intend to keep fixing various pain points I encounter.

Thanks for asking them.
I am gonna merge @hieblmi last PR and release one last binary, then If one of you want to do a fork, I will archive the repo and put a link to it.

I really like lntop. It's simple and shows the data live. Hope it will be developed further

@HappyBear-btc which features would you like to see?

[HappyBear-btc]

It's actually so perfect tool!
I always have it open as live monitoring, it's cool and informative just the best overview that you can have online from the terminal.
I guess there're always requests for features and it would be a shame if lntop is abandoned.
so in general I hope lntop stays alive in terms of maintenance and development.
btw for new users it would be convenient to add "a/d-to sort column" in the bottom near F2-Menu,Enter-details,F10-Quit.

@hieblmi I noticed that Forward history is not a live screen, it only updates after you switch to other screen and cone back.
would be useful to make it live like the other screens.
