Personal notes

I've decided to take a step back from active development of Get My IP for a while so I can focus on my health and spend more time with the those who matter most to me.

When I first started this project, I never imagined it would grow into what it has today. I'm incredibly grateful to everyone who has used it, contributed to it, and supported it over the years. At the same time, the project has become much larger and more demanding than I ever expected, and maintaining it has started to take a toll.

Going forward, I'll continue to accept translation updates and will do my best to address any critical issues that arise, but otherwise development will be on hold. Maybe someday I'll take another stab at #201.

I'd also like to mention that I was surprised to discover Get My IP is available through winget. I don't have any objection to it being there, and I understand that the MIT License permits redistribution. That said, I would have appreciated a quick heads-up or notification beforehand. It's not a major issue, but it would have been a nice courtesy.

To whomever added Get My IP to winget, please update it for the current version.

Finally, thank you to everyone who has supported the project over the years. Your feedback, bug reports, translations, contributions, and encouragement have meant more than you know.

❤️ Thank you.

AI Usage: 🤖

I have allowed GitHub Copilot to assist me in writing commit messages and for code review. If you noticed more detailed commit messages than usual, that is likely due to Copilot's assistance.

For the first time in this project, I used GitHub Copilot to help troubleshoot a bug. The bug was eradicated!

In each case I have reviewed what was generated by Copilot and made changes where necessary.
