FAQ

"Wen Launch?"

Version 1.0 Alpha is Out! Grab it here: https://github.com/JERisBRISK/archivists-pride/releases

Why isn't it a web page? Wouldn't that be simpler and more accessible for... everyone?

Great question! It probably would. It also would be much more costly for me, as I'd have to pay for all the traffic.

Writing a web page can be a lot harder than writing an application. Browsers are really fickle (even in 2021) and what works on one often only partially works on another. At least with a UI framework, what you see is what you get, for the most part. But even the best UI frameworks have bugs, and I've been beating my head against some of those for weeks, so there really is no free lunch. 😂

All that to say, I realize a web app would more easily serve y'all, so I'm working on it.

(And I'm going to see if I can find a way to keep most of the data access in the browser itself so I don't have to host a database, etc. At least for v1...)

Stay tuned!

OMG BUGS!

Yup. There are quite a few in there. This is an Alpha after all. Sort of a Tech Preview.

See https://github.com/JERisBRISK/archivists-pride/issues for a full account of the known ones. Feel free to add your own. Many of these will be obviated by the web version, since I'll be using an entirely different layout and technology stack.
