How active is this project?

How big/active is the community?

Activity does not appear to be very high, which is unfortunate because qless is a pretty nice product. The feature set and simplicity to setup and get going is really great. (instructions need a little work, but still only took about 10 min to get going)

I think qless does not appear in things like Ruby-Toolbox, which is unfortunate because its clearly a tool that needs more exposure. I have tried: rescue, sidekiq, beanstalk, MQ, delayed_job, etc. qless was the easiest to setup, web interface was 1 command to run in terminal (great work btw), and the concepts behind it are simple to understand. 👍 !!

Qless is in active use at Moz. It's in a fairly stable condition at this particular point in time as it meets the majority of our current needs in its current form. Is there something specific you are looking for?

[StephenOTT]

biggest item at the moment has been this: #185

from that also looking at updating the web UI and api (if is does not provide it) with the future date time that the job is scheduled for.

Sorry I can't answer that detail off-hand. @dlecocq is the primary author and has been busy with other priorities, but maybe he can chime in on that #185.

[StephenOTT]

I am planning on using qless for transactional email scheduling. Qless has everything i need, but scheduling is unclear, and the API does not appear to return scheduled date.

[StephenOTT]

and actually just refreshing my memory, ha, knew i read this somewhere: #60

[StephenOTT]

API does not appear to return scheduled date.

One workaround as a temp fix I was thinking of was related to adding the the scheduled date as a "tag". If the scheduled date is changed, the tag could be updated as well. I don't exactly like this as its likely to cause some weirdness with viewing tags and searching for tags, but its a potential quick solution

@dlecocq do we have any timeline on #60? Would be Immensely helpful!

Currently I have no plans to tackle that one :-/ I'll bear your upvote in mind, but the surest way to get it would be a PR.

okay thanks. I started a bit of work on it tonight. So will close this issue and carry on in #60.
