Hi. Do you plan to continue working on limelight or did you find a better alternative?

marcbachmann commented 8 years ago

Yes, but I don't have enough time. Would be nice to have some contributors. No, I didn't find any alternative.

I learned about limelight in gitter chat of hain project, which is also an electron-based launcher.

I like the extended preview of search results in html form in limelight so I'm interested in the project. I believe there is a great chance that both projects could share same plugins with some wrappers, so a possible merge is not necessary.

https://github.com/ewnd9/limelight/commit/5c8b48c219af78b4a69ab075ee5aa139b9e0e1d4 in my fork contains changes to run on a Linux system too. I think I'm going to play with code for a while and then will contribute back.
