    yo but tbh this gets old.

    i just want my stuff to update without me having to find out a year later its unmantained and had a fork all along.

    or having to watch the repositories of stuff i use for signs it might be unmantained. i didnt know half the (popular!) stuff mentioned here was abandoned then forked.

    libforknotifier when (or even how)?

    Even better when someone forked it away from proprietary, closed-source, publicly-traded, for-profit, US-based, account-required, training-AI-on-your-code-then-selling-it-back-to-you Microsoft GitHub forge/social media network often with vendor lock-in to some other forge without all that BS.

      Although I'd love to agree superslicer has sadly nowhere near the development power of prusa behind them - and feature parity is rarely given, basically any release of the two has "oh I want both of those!" (don't know if it's spelled correctly but arachnid mode for example was hyped to a point I checked back with prusa after a few months).

      I just want to point it out in case people expect a "prusaslicer" but better in every regard :)

        Oh yeah, I find that it's easier to get fine control of the outcome in SuperSlicer because it's less refined. User-friendly features are nice when you're getting started but a hindrance when you have more experience. I tried to use Cura awhile back and it felt like the Fisher-Price version of a slicer. SuperSlicer is probably less accessible overall, but it doesn't hide controls from me.

        Grigio wrote the app in Rust, it'd probably run fine on Windows with a little tweaking and some experimenting. You should reach out and ask :)
