FAQ

What the hell is this
It started with a post on /a/ about some guy making an android app where you tap and it shows a random picture of your waifu and plays a random sound and suddenly everyone wanted it. I have no idea why it got so much interest considering its simple nature.

There were a bunch of other anons making their own for computers, I got interested in the idea so I started my own too.

Another anon also started and released his own: simwaifu.wordpress.com

What is this made in
maiWaifu  is made using Adobe AIR, its cross platform so it should work on Windows, Linux and OSX.

How to install the app
Download Adobe AIR for your OS  first for it to work.
Then download the latest version (or whichever version you want) and run it.

>Using AIR
Aw shit nigga what are you doing
I went with AIR for this mostly because its cross platform and its features allow for a lot of possibilities.
If it ends up sucking or not many OSX/Linux users use it, I’ll drop AIR and switch to another language.
I wanted to try this out in the early stages to see if its a viable platform.

Open Source
Due to popular demand, this project will become open source at v0.5
I say v0.5 because right now, it has almost no features.
I have many ideas in mind and I want to keep working on it more on it before releasing it into the wild.

How much does it cost
Its free, and any future versions (that I make anyway) will also be free.

Screw your shit I’m making my own
By all means do so, this wasn’t even my idea to begin with, I’m just having fun making something people wanted to use.
