Dear users of The Composable Navigator,
Unfortunately, I must inform you that I will no longer continue to maintain this project. This has several reasons, first of all taking care of my mental health.
Over the last year, like many of you, I have been working from home and the boundaries of work and life have blurred over time. This led to my mind not being able to shut down, even after I closed the lid of my laptop in the evening. While changing jobs in May last year has definitely improved the situation, I noticed that being the single maintainer of an open source project created a lot of extra pressure to deliver and perform with an invisible set of eyes watching. This project is one of the few reasons I developed a minor case of burnout and fell into a depression over the course of the year.
To take back my life and enjoy every second of it, I have taken some steps to reduce the amount of stress I am exposed to and part of these steps is stepping back as a maintainer of this project. This allows me to let go of the negative feelings attached to it.
I am grateful that so many of you have used or at least tried this framework. There are not many alternatives out there, but I would recommend checking out Stinsen (rundfunk47/stinsen: Coordinators in SwiftUI. Simple, powerful and elegant.) and the PointFree episodes on navigation in SwiftUI.
Have a great 2022 and stay safe. If you ever feel like you’re running out of energy and that nothing in life has a purpose, get help and talk to people. Life is way too precious to be miserable.
