Deprecating Marvin

It is funny, I would never say I would be sad to deprecate a software project. Especially a project boilerplate. But I just merged the deprecation notice, and I do feel down a little.

I created Marvin about four years ago for my own needs. Since then it grew, became internal project at Work&Co (Fun fact, our website is made on top of Marvin.) and was used by thousands of people.

Why?

When Marvin was created React landscape was looking a lot different than today. The ecosystem continues to relentlessly evolve and maintaining a single boilerplate to capture all these possibilities has become unproductive.

The repo will stay available, but we are stopping further improvements and maintenance.

Thank you!

A big thank you to everyone who used and supported Marvin!
