Domain and Project

It seems like this Project is way behind other Versions by now for example https://github.com/watsonbox/exportify who offers a lot of features and even export of the favourites playlist. Id suggest to redirect the projects web Page exportify.net to the for now more advanced https://watsonbox.github.io/exportify/ page. If id have knewn about the other fork/project id have used that one instead and i feel like the webpage should include a link to the latest and most advanced version. Especially since this Project seems rather abondoned.

The story is @watsonbox wrote the original, then didn't update it for years. I wrote this version so that I could do the analytics I wanted. Then he came back and updated his own version.

Oh i didnt know that.
Is there any plan to get in contact with the original author?

[pavelkomarov]

Yeah, we've talked. I opened a PR over on his version, and he looked through this version's code pretty thoroughly. Not sure what he used, other than some ideas.

[watsonbox]

Yes for reference the PR is here. I did indeed try to use what I could, though it wasn't straightforward because of the different approaches I took with React and rate limiting, and the removal of automated tests from this fork, for example.

I agree that the domain exportify.net does rather cement this fork as the "canonical version", which at this point probably isn't optimal for users. As the owner of the domain, that is in @pavelkomarov's hands, and of course he's perfectly entitled to leave things as they are.

Ah yes sure. Thanks for explaining. I guess we can close this issue then :)
