    I presume the reason they didn’t use GPL3 is because they wanted the attribution and non-commercial clauses offered by CC-BY-NC.

    Not suggesting that they should not prefer to drop those clauses in favour of a copyleft free software licence. but you asked “why not” and losing those clauses is clearly an obvious candidate for why they might not want to.




  • Chars are just numbers, but yeah, an enum would work fine too, sure. The only advantage with using a char for it is that there’s no conversion needed for outputting them into strings so it’s a little easier. Less code, very readable, etc. Though yeah, thinking about it JQKA wouldn’t be numerically in the right order which could cause issues if the program did more than just implement HiLo










  • If you don’t like the gestures (like me) the most recent version has options to turn them off and give you buttons instead. For me thunder is nearly there in terms of being the experience I want. I wish it handled that back button better, but all the other apps like Jerboa also suffer poor back button behaviour too.
