Aerial: Create Aerial organization

Created on 21 Aug 2020  路  2Comments  路  Source: JohnCoates/Aerial

First, thanks for making such a beautiul screensaver! I was coming from 9to5mac reading about the new version 2.0 and have to say it was a bit confusing for newcomers like me to understand the difference between the companion app and Aerial itself.

The installation instructions refer to this, which is version 1.0 of the companion. To an untrained eye like mine, I immediately started looking for version 2.0, which was nowhere to be found because I was browsing the AerialCompanion repository. After a bit of more thorough reading, I was able to understand the difference and that the Companion ensures an up to date Aerial screensaver and the latest version of the former is 1.0 and the latter is 2.0.

Some of this could be made easier to understand by simple documentation, but I also think it would be helpful to gather Aerial related repositories in an Aerial organization on GitHub. AerialScreensaver seems available.

Keep up the good work!

Quick update, I created the organisation you suggested and the first step is a new user friendly website on GitHub pages coming super soon. I鈥檒l move the stuff I control there too soonish. Thanks again for suggesting this!

Hi @asbjornu

Sorry about the confusion, I know it's a bit of a mess. As you can see, I took over the development of the project, but the previous developper wanted to keep the repository under his name for the time being. Going to an organization thing on GitHub is a good idea that would simplify things a lot, I'll ping him when I have a sec and suggest the idea!
