Developer Notes
First and foremost, I acknowledge that this tool has a pretty narrow use-case. It was designed and built to solve a specific problem for a specific user.
However, I have done my best to design it such that others may find some use in it. If you have a use-case that is slightly different, and have Python experience, please fork this repo and modify as needed!
I will keep a list of all current (functionally-additive) forks and their use-cases in this repo.
Having issues?
Please create an issue! I don't provide any warranty with this software, but I will be happy to give your issue a look. It also helps others who may be looking to use this software determine if it is a good fit for them
If you're a student
There is some messy code in here! Code duplication is through the roof at some points. There are better, more Pythontic ways to do what this does.
So if this bothers you AND you have time to do something about it, please use this repo as an opportunity to delve into the open-source world! Fork, make some changes, and submit a pull-request.
The project is relatively small and would be a great introduction to contributing to the FOSS world :)
