Hello Forrest,
I'm very much interested in your script. I do not know how to get the
software from git and I currently do not have the time to find a way to
run it and try it out. There was a long discussion on the topic of text
readers on KDE not long ago. This is the subject line:
"Is there a project that is jovie successor?"
Perhaps you might find it relevant. Gustav
