I have an M1 Air 16gb and it's the best computer I've ever owned by such a wide margin that it's hard to believe they could improve it. Hard to overstate how dramatic an improvement it is relative to intel machines, especiall

Yo I would love the help to maintain/curate. A combination of the holidays and a really aggressive start to the new year at work made me fall off the update wagon. Email me and we can setup a time to chat. Edit: This was really nice to

I am happy for my tax dollars to go to efforts like these. The world is cooler when we have people doing rad stuff.

I loved Artpip too, and this was directly inspired by it. This is an Electron app, so in theory it should be relatively straight forward. I have to figure out signing and doing some testing, but that shouldn't be too bad. Biggest issue
