I'm debating whether or not to make the big jump into Drupal 8, and this is one of the modules I want to use with it. I know the alpha was released just a few months ago. Now, I'm wondering when it'll be in beta. Just a ballpark figure: 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, a year? Thanks!

Has anyone tried DrupalGap 8 yet? What's your experience so far?

I'd say Alpha is stable, it just doesn't have the feature set that DrupalGap 7 has. I've seen at least one person successfully build a headless Drupal 8 web application with DrupalGap 8. As soon as I land my first Drupal 8 project, we can expect a rush of improvements for DrupalGap 8, which I hope to accomplish by the end of the year, but if not I usually have huge sprints towards the end and beginning of the year.

Any update on this? When we can expect the stable release in DrupalGap 8

I'm using DrupalGap 8 in production (against a Drupal 7 website). I have zero projects in Drupal 8 yet, but I would not hesitate to use DrupalGap 8 with Drupal 8 right now. Definitely use the latest drupalgap.min.js from the 8.x-1.x on GitHub. A big change for those coming from DrupalGap 7, is that DrupalGap 8 will no longer support the display/edit of entities out of the box. In hindsight it was foolish to try and do this in DrupalGap 7 core, because every app is unique, and instead the developer should be empowered to build their own compelling entity UI/UX. Please let me know of any DrupalGap 8 questions, I am excited to help and get this beast labeled as ready for primetime.

Version: 8.x-1.0-alpha1 » 8.x-1.0-alpha4

Any updates on the general module status? The website says it's not ready for primetime and we haven't seen any commits for about a year and a half, although your above post states that you wouldn't hesitate to use it with Drupal 8 right now. Since the messaging is a bit mixed it'd be great to get your thoughts on the current state of affairs.

I start to think that this really nice module is no longer supported.

Look into the PWA module as an alternative. Phone Gap is depricated in favor of progressive web apps.
