@kotk, I had a discussion a while back with the publisher of Gensler’s Logic textbooks about maintaining the existing LogiCola 2 codebase, and it unfortunately seems to have disappeared after his death. They were very interested in keeping LogiCola alive since dropping it would make them have to completely rewrite a lot of his more recent work. I did help them come up with a stop-gap method for running LogiCola on the then-new M1 MacBooks and Chromebooks, but I couldn’t commit to rewriting it while I was in school.
I would email the publisher once you’re confident that you’ve hit feature parity, including a grading system for professors (my professor used it extensively), as they were very interested in an alternative/replacement system.
If you’d like, I can send you an email with the contact info of the person I talked to. Feel free to send me a Discord message (I’m my HN username with a single dot before it there).
- kotk 2y agoThank you for being so kind and thoughtful! The fact the software might fade away was a great motivation for myself. I'm in touch with the publisher and It's likely we'll keep working together. I'll reach out to you regardless as I'd love to learn from your insights :)
