Status of Urn? #58

Open alkaris2 opened 2 years ago

alkaris2 commented 2 years ago

Is this project still being maintained or is it dead now? It hasn't seen an update in over 7 years it seems, no bug fixes, no changes or enhancements.

There's still a few outstanding bugs that need to be addressed, such as timers not pausing when they're supposed to be paused, and silently keeps counting up the time in the background, and ends up adding to the clock time when you un-pause the timer.

No comprehensive documentation of how to customize themes and add things like icons to them. Someone looking at the GTK+ reference guide would do no use to someone when trying to build up the theme in CSS.

Seems like if the author isn't responding to PRs someone could fork it? But I don't know if it's worth it. I feel like this project was made at a time right when Linux streaming became viable, just after obs-studio was stable but before alternatives were developed like livesplit one. I think most Linux streamers have moved on to other splits software.

could you name a few? I haven't find any good replacement yet

LiveSplit One is browser based so it works regardless of OS. It is a bit heavier than Urn considering you need a browser but it's not that bad.

I forked this repository, maybe can help someone, I just implement some of its PR and fixed the pause timer bug that @alkaris2 mentions. Also I've also added more useful information in the Readme and a custom theme that looks like the original LiveSplit. I don't have any experience with gtk or gsettings so can't help with the rest for now, possibly I will add more things in the future as I need them
