Hi all!
I'm new to QC and I've just stumbled upon a few videos about Skylight (all of them made by third parties though). But I cannot say if the project is still alive. Is it? It looks like the roadmap stopped in Mar 2020 and latest version update is from Dez 2020 (according to Skylight's own webpage).
Also: isn't there any videos and other educational resources made by QC itself?
Thank you!
Jared Broad
Hey Anderson,
Unfortunately, the core technology underpinning Skylight (electron) did not translate well cross-platform and we had too many edge cases to resolve sustainably. A month ago we elected instead to reboot the project with a pip-package in pure python. This was more maintainable, open-source, and could be easily run on most operating systems.
You have fortunate timing as the new CLI should be ready in a few days. Stay tuned for the announcement in the forums next week, or star this repo for updates. =)
Best
Jared
