    Hello. Some time ago I' ve strugled with seting up wifi manager in esp_idf framework. Most popular wifi manager made by tzapu was not working on esp-idf framework inside PlatformIo. So I have found tonyp7. It started to work after many changes in library code and makefiles. I have some free time and I can make WifiManager suited to bare esp-idf and esp-idf inside PlatformIo. My question is- do somebody need this ? Maybe there are alternatives which i did not find and my work is pointless. Please share your opinion

    Is that fork needed still? It seems like the main project claims support for esp32 now? https://github.com/tzapu/WiFiManager

    I use WifiManager (https://github.com/tzapu/WiFiManager) .. it will setup the device as an access point you connect to and configure the wifi.

    If you have other code that does not rely on being connected to WiFi I would look into running WiFi manager in none blocking mode. There is an example here: https://github.com/tzapu/WiFiManager/blob/master/examples/NonBlocking/AutoConnectNonBlocking/AutoConnectNonBlocking.ino

    Oh and if you're implementing it yourself and want a captive portal look into WifiManager. It's pretty much the standard ESP captive portal.
