Hi everyone, I've been working on developing a new lighting software for schools and small venues for a while now, and have been using it for multiple shows during that time. I've finally put out a beta that I would like people to try out for themselves. Will you try it and give some feedback? It runs on Windows and Linux, and you can download it at the link below. Thanks!

Features at a glance:
Background: I'm a senior in high school, and the lighting designer for my school. A few years ago, I finally got fed up with the pains of my school's old lighting system, most importantly the fact that I had to keep running between booth and stage when focusing lights. I decided to write this program. Since then, I have used it for 10+ shows, programming and running lights from a seat in the house: no more booth.
