How can someone who voices genuine concerns be a troll ? I was actually interested in this framework. Right now I'm torn between pixi.js and easel.js , this seemed like a viable alternative.

But before I start to invest time in a technology, I want to know if it's still alive.

This project is definitely not finished (text rendering), far from polished (slow webgl implementation, see this thread) and has not been improved in half a year.

Take a look at this: https://github.com/jonobr1/two.js/graphs/contributors

The whole thing was a one-man stunt and is obviously dead.

Oh, and saying "I work on the dev branch" when the dev branch is just as abandoned as the rest of the code is a blatant lie. https://github.com/jonobr1/two.js/commits/dev

Sorry, but stuff like this just makes me angry. The javascript world is full of throwaway projects that die after a few months/years. At the same time there are true gems with really elegant code. Easel, Pixi, SnapSvg, they are amazing. Advertisement for a project like this is unfair and spreads confusion.

If you need help, if you look for contributors, just say so. But don't pretend that your code is alive when it's actually cold legacy code.

Oh and the commit from last Wednesday was three lines long

Sounds good, but I just looked at the dev branch. One small commit from 15 july 2015. then nothing till december '14 .

This project is absolutely dead

It says in this thread that the library can't even draw text. That's far from complete

Is that project still alive ? Last two commits are from march this year and then there's nothing all the way back to july '14
