I'm really surprised this got so much traction..., I didn't submit this to HN. Baffled that so many users went trough roughly the same experience.

Great project - is this in a repo we can fork?

It's not opensource. I would have to rewrite it to open source it. And write some docs. I don't know if I have the time for it.

I can't release it in the form it is now. I'm really ashamed of the code I wrote a few years back :).

Don't worry about it! The code probably isn't nearly as bad as you think, and anyway it can be improved through PRs... Did you consider open-sourcing it from the beginning? If so, why did you decide not to do that?
