Relaunch LaserWeb
Hi All,
Just wanted to see if there was any interest in taking up the project and continuing the development. I am willing to take this on if there are others also willing to jump on and dedicate a bit of time.
Please contact me so we can chat.
It would be great if this project lives on. However, with a powerful AND not so pricey software like Lightburn it is questionable if this is required. For now, I did all my projects with LaserWeb.
I am just upgrading my K40 to a GCODE controller so will be looking to use this software. After I have finished the upgrade I will see if I can contribute.
I am not able to contribute as I am not a programmer, but it would be awesome as this is the best linux able software for lasers
it would be nice to relaunch this tool, maybe with .net mono...
Lightburn is indeed not a bad tool, but i am really missing some features laserweb has, for example the matrix burn and the configuration possibilities of the different layers when it gets to svg vectors, and the thread/cpu optimizations e.g. . In lightburn there are only 31 configurable laser options, which is bad when you want to maybe want to make a test matrix or have a really extensible project with many different burnings. In laserweb you could add as many items to your list as the memory can hold ^^. Also when it gets to headless server/ running on a pi .. the support people from lightburn always argument with.. you do not leave your laser alone, but there are other reasons why someone wants to run a program on a server.. this, to name only some features, laserweb do much better in comparsion to lightburn in my opinion. all in all i would appreciate to have a new and open source version of laserweb.. and if it is possible for me, i would also like to participate.
I am the backend dev of LaserWeb (nodejs) and could supprt you, if someone takes over the frontend (react/redux).
I would also love to see laserweb continue forward. I dont like running closed source software, and so far laserweb seemed like a really good alternative for us linux users.
Seeing as how cprezzi has offered his support for the back end, if we can get a couple of others to commit to lend a hand, we can look at working up a road map to see if it would be worth while working on.
I would give it a shot to lend a hand, but I'm more of a metal/ops guy who only does frontend hacking to suit my needs. If someone else is taking the lead I'd be happy to contribute what I can.
