A new challenger arrives!

https://github.com/ThatOneCalculator/PyJumpcutterV2 is basically creating an alternative that might out-do this repo!

Well if no pull requests get merged here some fork will eventually take over. (or the project will just die)

I agree that the repo you linked is more user friendly.
However carykh wanted to develop a mobile app for this project and as mobile devices have much less processing power I doubt they will be able to get acceptable results with ffmpeg on the client phone.

We would probably need some servers that accepts video files and jumpcutter parameters and start to return the result in the next 30 seconds. That's why I'm not a fan of GUIs written in python for this project, as a webserver doesn't need that. The webserver would serve some html+javascript and have a form to upload your file and give jumpcutter parameters. If anyone wants to develop such a site that would be the most beneficial GUI for this project imo.

@Lamaun well said, but I did this merely to see if Carykh or TOC will make the first move in adding gesture-based video cutting.

This is the very nature of opensource projects, without corporate backing. Someone creates a software because they need it, and for a while they will volunteer their time to develop it, encouraged by community uptake, and eventually they lose interest -- unless lot of community contributions and very high interest is generated. Sometimes the original author doesn't have time or inclination to check all the PRs and accept them, but eventually someone else picks it up from there or start afresh. Alternatives are good and what keeps the opensource community thriving.
