2 months ago Hi there!
As you probably gathered, the current application is written in Swift and not very portable to other operating systems. I would like to make this functionality available to more people, but also have no experience making apps on other platforms.
However, at the FIRST Championship this year, a potential alternative came up: we could attempt to make a Bitfocus Companion module for the scoring system. We used Companion (as opposed to ATEM macros) at that event and it worked pretty well.
I have no idea how Companion modules work, but if we figured it out, it would allow FTC Switcher to run on any machine that can run Companion. That's a much broader audience, and probably easier to set up if you're working with any sort of production crew.
So at this point, if I find time, that is probably where I will focus efforts. Someone else might get to it first, which would also be great.
As the title states, will Linux support be added? Also, the release page appears to be empty. Windows support would give more access to people, but I don't know if it is in the realm of possibility.
