MentalEdge sopuli.xyz3Hide 3 repliesNeat! Could maxima-cli be used to implement EA support in Heroic? Feels odd to not consolidate considering it already does Epic, GOG and Amazon. Refactoring Maxima to new architecture allowing multiple frontends to co-exist Maybe yes eventually?24

The maxima name is taken. Maxima is the symbolic algebra system.
It also shares the name with a grocery store.
Hopefully they rename it to (at least) "Maxima Launcher".
