# why
I loved [Xee³](https://theunarchiver.com/xee), an extremely fast and no-nonsense way to flip through images in a directory quickly.
The original developer sold it to [MacPaw](https://macpaw.com/), who maintained it for a little while, then their country got invaded by Russia, and they quite understandably stopped being able to update it anymore.
Some of the bit-twiddling it did to make it really, really fast apparently also doesn't work on Apple Silicon, meaning that it fails to display images at all on new Macs, and MacPaw doesn't have the bandwidth to fix it (they don't even sell it anymore on the App Store).
I'd try and fork it, but I'm not much of a C developer. But I do know go, and [gitlab.com/cznic/tk9.0](https://gitlab.com/cznic/tk9.0) is a really interesting approach to UI toolkits in go that I've been wanting to try out.
So, what comes before Z? Y.
