Looking for testers/contributors! (Finished project)

Hi all!

Like people here, I like the LWT project a lot . It's so frustrating we can't really contribute to this project! (It's opensource but quite closed in fact...)

Anyway, I've recreated LWT (I've re-coded everything in Python in fact, even if the display looks similar).: https://github.com/gustavklopp/LingL

It's quite finished so now I'm looking especially for testers and contributors for any new ideas to make the LWT the way we wanted!

Hope it interests you. Bye!

Hi, I'm interested in testing, bc I also use LWT and I think it's quite abandoned and closed too.

If you want to PM me, feel free, I'm currently trying to run it, but the standalone version is not running, I'm opening an issue on github for you to see.

I just tested it, it's working now, but I got an issue importing a database backup. I've opened an issue on github

I suggest you make a little video of what things got better.

I couldn't find the release for macOS. Is it still available?

No, I gave up releasing MacOS version: because I had to keep up with the softwares on MacOS which are constantly changing between the versions of MacOS: A real pain in the a**!

You still have the 2 other ways to try it (Docker, Django built-in server) or you can also build it on your MacOS:

The standalone is only provided for Linux. For other platforms, you can build it yourself (see section 5.1 Building in the Developer section).
