Based on the RepoPilot analysis provided:
naman14/timber shows a clear AVOID verdict with the signal: "Stale and unlicensed — last commit 3y ago." The README itself states [naman14/timber README]: "This project is no longer in active development. Please refer to TimberX instead."
scwang90/smartrefreshlayout does not have a RepoPilot verdict in the data provided, so I cannot definitively assess its maintenance signals from the computed analysis.
However, based on available evidence:
- Timber is explicitly abandoned (3+ years without commits, no license declared)
- SmartRefreshLayout shows active maintenance patterns in the documentation. The README references paid support groups and ongoing problem resolution, indicating continued engagement with the project [scwang90/smartrefreshlayout README.md:L314-L322]. The repository also maintains multiple header/footer implementations with version 3.x released with AndroidX support [scwang90/smartrefreshlayout README_EN.md:L113-L181].
Conclusion: scwang90/smartrefreshlayout has significantly better maintenance signals. Naman14/timber is abandoned and explicitly directs users to TimberX instead.
FOLLOW_UPS:
- What is TimberX and how does it differ from Timber?
- When was SmartRefreshLayout's latest release?
- Does SmartRefreshLayout have known security advisories?
