FAQ

  1. Why?
    I wanted a simple project to work on my Haskell skills.

  2. Why Haskell?
    Learning a different paradigm.

  3. Did it work?
    Well... a GUI is probably not the best way to learn Haskell. Too much I/O (nope, no FRP here).

  4. Oh, god, so many bugs. WTF?
    Release early, release often.

  5. Development plan?
    None. I will work on this when I can. Features will be implemented according to interest. Use the bug tracker to request features and vote for them.

  6. This sucks, I cannot even pick the subtitles!
    Use mpv's keybindings or the OSD. If you want an UI for that, see point 5.

  7. This is not Haskell. This is C-style Haskell code.
    This. I need your advice on this. If you have a suggestion, use the bug-tracker or contact me directly.
