AutoSite XL 0.9 release, and a retrospective
dotcomboom
Tonight I released the first "stable" version of AutoSite XL, 0.9. I started this project just before school started about two weeks ago. Something I had always wanted to do since I started working on AutoSite alllll the way back in August 2018 (ok, it was July 30th) was to make a desktop version of it. (AutoSite 98 almost counts. Almost.)
AutoSite XL isn't up on my site yet, which is something I'll get to soon. However, I do have all the code and the actual release on Github, and a pretty extensive (1800 something words) readme.md, which might as well contain a blog post of its own, so it'd be cool if you read it.
I originally considered writing a GUI AutoSite in a new language, maybe to practice Java, the literal bane of my existence (someone's oughta be the programmer for the robotics team now that the only one graduated), or perhaps taking on WPF and heck, C#.
Ultimately though, I decided to stick to what I knew best.
