Not an issue, just wanted to say thanks

Just wanted to say thanks to 6pac and others for the continued work on SlickGrid.

I'd have contacted 6pac directly, but there's no contact info for him.

If there's a better way to leave feedback on Github than this, please let me know.

Thanks, Jack!
I updated my profile to show an email address, perhaps I'm ready to be slightly less paranoid...

It's great to be able to keep the Slickgrid bandwagon rolling forwards. I do this in my 'spare time' (ha!) and it can feel like i'm dragging the chain a lot of the time. But I do what I can, and welcome anyone else who is happy to step up.

It's hard to gauge where SlickGrid is headed in the bigger picture - so much is changing with javascript frameworks, mobile/touch devices, etc, but I still think it's one of the most flexible and powerful offerings out there.

It's also hard to gauge how big the user base is. There are a lot of references around the net, but also a lot of offerings in this space. So I'm not sure if this project is a backwater or just waiting to stand out based on the things that matter.

Anyway, it's an integral part of one of my projects, and there are a few surprise extensions lying around on my private fork. One day I'll get to releasing them too. In the meantime, thanks for your words of support.

I just came across this, I'm being tortured by other grids, I remember using this one in the past over DataTables. Because it just worked but it was abandoned and the stupid fork graph won't display :( . I'm gonna have to try it out now.

Just wanted to say thanks as well. @6pac would be nice to have a "todo list" with things to improve so we can give a quick hand (I am looking at jquery.* dependencies).

I have a fork of slick grid with some fixes from the past. Will try, in the next weeks / months, to separate and create some PRs.

Thanks @Ra00i that is a great idea. I'll try to put together a 'mind map' of where it's at.
There are different people working on all kinds of things in various clusters. Even I can't keep track of it.
I'm on holidays soon, so might have a bit of time to tinker. I've had about 6 projects on the go at once lately, not a spare second.

@6pac
I also wanted to say thanks for maintaining this repo and also congratulate you on the 1000 ⭐ milestone that you just passed today 🥇 💁‍♂️

Now that we have GitHub Discussions, I think this is better as a Discussion instead of an issue. I would also like to point out that if you haven't noticed, we released SlickGrid 5.0 not long ago and this complete our journey into modernizing the project by dropping jQuery/jQueryUI, migrating to TypeScript, provide ES6/ESM builds and finally we also provided SlickGrid with a fresh new look by adding a new Alpine Theme that can even be customized by CSS/SASS variables.

Thanks for the kind word and keep using SlickGrid 🚀
