I want to express as much kindness and love to you as I can. ❤️ I am truly sorry to hear about the ALS. I also want to express appreciation for this software that you created. I'm not currently using it, but I used it in the past, and found it to be excellent. I've been considering using it again due to its impressive speed. Regarding your ability to develop software with ALS. I think, perhaps, the most important thing is for you to enjoy life as much as possible. If you enjoy programming, and find it fulfilling, I would like to relate to you a story of a gentleman whom I will never forget. He attended my presentations many years ago, and I was always amazed by his remarkable abilities. I admire him to this day. He was a quadriplegic who not only programmed computers, but also drove a vehicle. How did he accomplish such incredible feats? He had a device that he could attach to his forehead that looked like an unsharpened pencil. With that device, he would use his neck muscles to move his head and type one character at a time (this was long before consumer-grade speech to text technology was invented). Everyone respected his excellent programming abilities. He drove (and controlled his electronic wheelchair) using a tube he would connect to his mouth. With that tube, he could drive safely. He even was able to get himself (in his wheelchair) into and out of his customized van without assistance. I will never forget this remarkable man, and I hope he is still alive to enjoy life and inspire others. I hope reading his story inspires you. Decades have since passed, and I know the assistive technologies are even more advanced today. I encourage you to enjoy life to the best of your abilities, whatever they are, and however you choose to define enjoyment. You can do it! ❤️ |

This is sudden, but I will now end development.
I would like to see continued development of QuickViewer managed by an open team by cloning a new repository.
I developed this application to meet my needs for comfortably viewing large amounts of magazine scraps and camera photos.
I have heard that it is now being used by a wide range of people, including researchers, professors, and experts.
Seven years have passed since it was first released, but interestingly, there is still no app that can match QuickViewer in terms of image display speed.
Ideas of software
If you have an idea you want to realize and are not satisfied with existing software, you should start a project right away.
Even if you have the desire to develop, like me, it is too late once you become immobile.
I am sure that groundbreaking software will be born from your idea.
My planned development list:
Retired
I currently suffer from ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis).
I'm a retired software engineer.
I can barely move my left hand, but my right is completely paralyzed.
I won't be able to stand up in a few months.
I constantly need the help of others in my life.
If you could provide financial support or help with the project, some of these ideas could become a reality.
