laravel-websockets package has been archived. If there is a sense to use it anymore ?

I tried to install https://github.com/beyondcode/laravel-websockets on new laravel 10 site, but found on github I found message :

This repository has been archived by the owner on Feb 7, 2024. It is now read-only.

Is it not a good idea to use this plugin now ? What can I use instaead this plugin ?

There is a note in the readme:

Laravel WebSockets is no longer maintained. If you are looking for a PHP-based WebSocket solution, check out Laravel Reverb which is also built on top of ReactPHP and allows you to horizontally scale the WebSocket server.

In my mind, it wouldn't make sense to use this on a new project, I'd use Laravel Revert instead. (It's not out yet but will be soon).

Please or to participate in this conversation.
