Update readme to reflect current repo, now that all regressions appear fixed (yay!) #38

Closed mikehardy closed 5 years ago

mikehardy commented 5 years ago

Hey @poohsen - thought it would be useful to update the README now that all the regressions from all the updates over allll the years seem to be fixed?

And current versions seem to have adoption / usage similar to what was present before TB60 rolled out and broke the add-on completely.

You might also want to just bulk-close all the issues asking to log them in my repo if they are still interested. I'm probably not going to make a bunch of new features (although I'll happily take PRs) but I'll keep it running and fix bugs where possible since it's embedded in my workflow

I use this thing daily and I'm trying to learn javascript also, so this was a fun (for me) journey to patch it up. Thanks for taking the chance on me to publish new versions on the add-ons site

Great work! But what about the installation procedure? Is it not needed anymore?

mikehardy commented 5 years ago

Thanks! I'm pretty happy with it now though it isn't perfect. Software is never done...

Install instructions are absolutely needed though they's all updated now - Windows has new .reg files, Mac support exists (in 2 ways), and Linux has new files that work for Ubuntu etc.

I was assuming (maybe wrongly!) that you no longer really wanted to maintain, so just a clear pointer to my repo vs the deprecation and old instructions would be an improvement.

An alternative would be to keep it here, ingest all the changes and either re-commit to merges or allow me to work in this repo as issues / PRs bubble up. And it's not a false choice - you may have a better idea that hasn't even occurred to me? My goal is just a single source of "truth" for "where is this source"...

Ah, ok. Makes sense, yes! Really Great you picked it up. Thanks!
