Your reader looks awesome. Did you open source it?

Thank you! Alas, I did not. I am fully behind the open source/free software movement(s), but right now I am at a point in my life where I can't manage and support an open source project as my availability is super spotty. Also, you don't want to see the css... it makes gotos look good.
You should not be afraid of open sourcing code you can't support or are not happy with :)

Here's my most popular Github repository. I never use it and it's entirely supported by its users, I just keep an eye on it:

And here is some of my worst production code. Fully undocumented and with my first Python code ever in it, never rewritten/cleaned up:

There, I just showed you terrible code and unmaintained crap ;) Don't be ashamed!
