I provided a fix there but I am not sure that the project is still accepting pull requests ? https://github.com/aperrot42/scenic-view

Hi @aperrot42 ,

We haven't been very active lately, but we are accepting PRs :)

[Siedlerchr]

@abhinayagarwal Then at least merge my PR. It's been 9 months since I created my PR. Either you mark the repo as archived, be more active, or look for a new maintainer. I am an open-source dev myself despite having a full-time job. I know the struggles, but I also need to know if it's worth spending my time on this repos https://github.com/JonathanGiles/scenic-view/pull/76
