Lute v3 is getting very very close to good to launch, if it’s not already.

Lute v3 is getting pretty close to ready:

• All tests ported: check
• All features implemented: check (I think)
• All obvious codo TODOs addressed: check
• Packaged and up on testpypi: check
• Dogfooded and user feedback implemented: not yet
• Documentation updates (porting, wiki updates): not yet
• etc …

So I guess it’s time to start dogfooding and to get some user notes.

Lots of progress after lots of hacking. Just one test remaining, and everything seems fine. Still a handful of tasks before I can consider the initial port complete. Phew. I feel that v3 is a significant step in the right direction: the code is clearer, there’s less of it, and it’s faster.

Some important basics are in place: basic tech stack (Python, Flask, Flask-wtf), database setup and migrations, basic project structure, code linting and initial tests. Lots still to do.

Currently, I have a few main areas of work:

• Lute v3: porting the project to Python
• Fixing existing issues, adding small new features
• Supporting new user installs
