Maintainer Wanted

[domfarolino]

A number of people have opened issues on this repository asking why it has been deprecated (since there is not any information about this in the README etc) and why certain portions of the live app (backend) do not work anymore. Answer: I let the hosting for the database expire (though I have a dump of all the data) because I no longer have the time to maintain this project the way I wish I could.

However, this provides a good opportunity for the community, as I'm looking for a maintainer to step in! If I could give someone worthy, write-access to the repository so they can build it up again and update all the dependencies etc that would be a huge help. If anyone is interested in contributing please let me know via email (domfarolino@gmail.com) or comment on this issue and I'd be happy to talk to you. Submitting a PR to update the application's dependencies and make it work with all the new jazz would be a great first step :)

Might be nice to merge this with https://github.com/DavideViolante/Angular-Full-Stack as it is being maintained and uses the latest dependencies. I can port the passport openAuthWindow stuff etc - what are your thoughts?

Hmm that sounds like a pretty good plan I think, if you would like to head up the initiative on that, it would be much appreciated!

I'd be willing to take up maintainership for this project. My company is looking to use this project, I'm a core team member of the popular node-fetch package since the very first besinning and takes care of a number of other popular open source project.
I know a thing or two about open source and making sure it's harmful and well documented and safe

That being said, I have had a fascination of getting things modernized. My motivations are not to prioritize the needs of my company over the needs of the community. Looking through the issues, I think that I could help with answering the questions people have or looking into (and potentially fixing) the problems that are presented.

If it's alright with you then I would like to get full maintainership of npm package and that the github is transfered to my account along with all the issues/PR that comes with it

Just let me know 👍

Much appreciated @jimmywarting. Regarding:

Submitting a PR to update the application's dependencies and make it work with all the new jazz would be a great first step :)

If you wouldn't mind starting all of this over here before we consider a transfer or some kind, that would be great.
