  • Right, I think I found a lot of stuff for v3, but not that much for v4 and almost nothing for v5. I still managed to figure it out and I have a decent template now.

    The worst is trying to find which version a post on StackExchange is about…

    Just having an example with the most common tasks (ex: creating registry keys, registering DLLs or Fonts, etc) and having some comments in there with the common pitfalls to avoid would really go a long way.

    I do appreciate v5 in a way, now that you don’t need a preprocessing step for the file, that you can use a wildcards for a directory, and you can just build a package in a single step is a great improvement. Maybe I was spoiled with Nullsoft and Inno Setup in the past 😬










  • I used a platform called Aether which I used for a while but it seems the developer kinda abandonned it.

    The idea was interesting, all participants would hold a copy of the network data locally and sync between eachothers (kind of like a blockchain, no it’s not related to cryptocurrencies).

    Writing a comment, a post, upvoting and downvoting required conputational power, which limited the ability to spam the network. There was the idea of having elections to decide who could act as a moderator in each communities (and the ability to impeach an existing mod), but it never came to be.
