Which one should I pick for a new project?

I can only make a limited recommendation based on the data available, but here's what I can tell you:

baseflow/photoview is a specialized library for a specific use case: zooming ImageViews in Android. It's mature and well-established (18.8k stars), but according to RepoPilot's analysis, it has a critical issue:

WAIT — Stale — last commit 4y ago

This means the project hasn't been actively maintained for 4 years. For a new project, this is a significant concern because:

• It won't be updated for newer Android API levels
• Security vulnerabilities won't be patched
• Compatibility issues with modern Android versions may arise

naman14/timber is a music player application (not a library you'd depend on directly), so it's not comparable as a dependency choice.

My recommendation: If you need image zooming functionality, I'd suggest looking for alternatives that are actively maintained. If you do choose baseflow/photoview despite the staleness, be prepared to fork and maintain it yourself, or verify it works with your target Android API levels before committing.

Do you have a specific feature need (image zooming)? If so, I can help you understand what baseflow/photoview offers so you can evaluate alternatives.
