Re: Introducing Hacklily, another online LilyPond editor

[Joshua Netterfield]

Hi all,

I'm sorry for alienating some of you with the Windows comment. The website itself, https://www.hacklily.org should work in many modern graphical web browsers, including ones on Windows. Currently, the main reason for running the server itself would be to contribute to Hacklily (please do contribute, if you are interested!). I don't have a grudge against Windows, and would love help from someone to help figure out how to enable development there. If you're interested, let me know here or in a GitHub issue (or even better yet, PR).

I've toned down some of the wording in the README and added a note that the build steps aren't needed if you just want to use Hacklily.

Best,
Joshua Netterfield

'OS that is not Windows'…so you are saying to hell with 7 out of 10 users? Well, that's one way to cut down on all that annoying customer noise!

That simply means that the web site it will not run *as-is* on Windows. It most certainly is possible to make it work, but since most non-corporate web servers use Linux, it is most likely not a priority. The following text that you conveniently omitted, "if you make it work, please contribute your fix!", makes it sound less harsh, no?
