seejohnrun/haste-server has been abandoned and it looks to me like https://github.com/zneix/haste-server is the best fork out there. Could we maybe update the list to direct people to this updated repo?

The forks looks to have some recent maintenance yes, however the original has some long-standing issues (https://github.com/seejohnrun/haste-server/issues) and some (apparently) security-related ones. So the original has the advantage of making them visible to the prospective user...

seejohnrun/haste-server should definitely be removed in the current state. However I don't know about the fork... @twiclo @zneix what do you think about these solutions? Either:

  • Ask @seejohnrun to transfer ownership of the original repo to you, if you intend to maintain it
  • If not possible then copy the original repo's issues to yours, ... but the first solution would be preferable. Don't let a good project go to waste

Hey @nodiscc, I started modifying haste just to resolve numerous dependency issues but I noticed I can upgrade its very old code and I still have some ideas in my mind to expand original repo by adding, for example deletion support or rewriting frontend to get rid of old jquery.
I don't have all the time in the world, but I intend to keep providing support to my fork and adding features I have in my mind.

I will try contacting seejohnrun, but I have a feeling I can't just take someone's repo and pin it under my name.
About copying issues, I can make one megathread of most/all relevant issues that might be useful to implement and start working on them.

More than happy to help out moving all the issues over. Don't see why a deprecated repo should be promoted that has security vulnerabilities and people waiting to contribute to contribute that are being ignored.

Poor form imo - even if I don't hold a github employee to a higher standard.

I wouldn't give a toss about the original project. The original owner evidently doesn't care enough to respond - probably won't want to transfer the repo.

I believe @zneix fixed the security flaws already

Yes I did, I believe alazymeme meant upstream repo, not my fork 😄

No response from @seejohnrun? If so, you may send a PR to replace the original hastebin with your fork
