Never expected to see a shoutout for my project on here. Thanks, glad it has helped you.
Which is your project?
As an aside, your comment has hit me in a surprisingly profound way. I think it's because it can be too easy to forget about the people behind the software we use. This is especially the case with proprietary software from big companies, but it can also happen with open source or smaller projects from individual devs. I think that it arises in part from thinking about software as a product, which neglects the messy relationality of how things are actually made, maintained and used.
It's sweet to see such a serendipitous exchange of appreciation. It makes the world feel smaller, but in a good way.
Wemod-launcher
Hey, Dani! I don't have a lot of time to play games like I used to, so you and the others who have worked on wemod-launcher are a LIFE SAVER! I can't tell you how cool it is to see the developer here, and actually saw my comment.
Every time I get done playing a game, and WeMod asks the "How was it?" prompt, I also always shout the project out through that, just in case someone sees it and they want to help or make the switch over to Linux. :)
