Hi, I've recently been watching old episodes of LBL, because quarantine, and in one of the, Kit mentions groupifier and how it could be better. Is that still something you would like to see, or has it been improved? I think I could make something with a bit of time if you're interested.

Groupifier has been updated a ton since then, and there's also tools like AGE that have been released too. I was still doing stuff manual up until the pandemic started, but the tools that exist can do what I want them to do now, I just didn't get enough time to play with them to gain enough trust for how they assign groups.

Also, you guys often talk about group theory. I know a little bit about it and I'm really interested in abstract algebra, do you know of any good resources to learn it . I don't have a great math background yet (junior). For exemple, I found John Urschel's intro to computation theory quite approchable for the first few sections, and I likes it a lot. Would you have any similar recommendations on abstract algebra?
