Note: this is still suuuuper early!

And yes, this is the first ever public announcement of it.

When I say "early", I mean it's still at the point where I'm often having to completely wipe state and recreate accounts, groups, etc. to deal with implementation bugs. Do not expect this to be a flawless experience!

That said: it mostly works. 🙂

New version of Scrapwire has some breaking changes. You'll want to run:

rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/scrapwire && rm -rf ~/.local/share/scrapwire

before running the build. Here's a new group invitation:

@tek "Waiting for group creator to come online"
@tek I keep having to switch to xterm to paste in the invitation as xfce-terminal captures F1 and Ctrl-/ doesn't work in either
@light Ouch. Hmmm, any recommendations for a better shortcut for that situation?
@tek Idk. Maybe ctrl-alt-C or ctrl-shift-C?
C for "command"
Or perhaps O for "options"
Anyway, I'm gonna go to bed now,

@light I'll think about this. Or maybe I can make that easier to configure for each user. 🤔

G'night!
