@mcarr823 - btw, since I'm very short on time for this project and feel bad about it, please let me know if you'd be interested to be a maintainer of PaperTTY. You've submitted lots of code and helped people with their issues, and I appreciate that very much.

Sure, I'd be happy to. I probably won't get much done over the next week or two (busy with Christmas stuff) but after that I do have some plans for further updates to PaperTTY. I might write up a TODO issue with a list...

:pray: That's great, thanks! I invited you as collaborator now (I guess that should work? It's the first time I do this in Github). The only expectation/hope I have is that you don't feel at all stressed/obliged about this - it's just more convenient if someone who actually works on the code doesn't have to bother waiting for me in particular to merge good PRs etc. :)
Let me know if there's any problems pushing to the repo or such.
Thanks @joukos invite accepted. I won't stress about it. I do have a bunch of additions planned for next year, but I'll just do it when I have the time.
I'll still probably submit a PR if it's something other than straightforward code additions. eg. I think the README, installation methods and dependencies are due for an update, and I'll likely submit a PR to get your impressions on that. But for normal code changes I'll merge them in myself.
New builds of Raspberry Pi OS based on Debian 12 now require slightly different packages to work with PaperTTY.
libfreetype-dev is required before the installation of pillow, otherwise it will throw errors when you try to use PIL.
libtiff5-dev is required instead of libtiff5 since the latter isn't in the repos anymore. Installing the -dev version automatically installs the appropriate version of the base libtiff package, so this works for both Debian 11 and 12-based versions of Raspberry Pi OS.
