I am impressed with Codebook, but as a Windows and Mac user who is considering a switch to Linux, I would hate to give it up. Is there _any_ chance that there might be a Linux version in the future?

Hello @wmcb80 - thanks for getting in touch about Codebook. We have considered Linux as a platform, but we are very concerned about the potential to recoup the costs of developing for that platform. I can’t rule it out entirely, because we do periodically review it as a possibility (some of us here use Linux for development routinely), but we don’t have it on the roadmap right now.

We have just released support for running Codebook on Linux! More information can be found [here](https://discuss.zetetic.net/t/codebook-for-windows-5-3-10-codebook-on-linux/7184).
