I found this article to be very helpful. I am saddened to see it is slated for deletion. It would be great if this, f.lux and xflux (?) could be merged as they are apparently similar software. Having the page redirect to that page would be very helpful.

As silly as it sounds, I often turn to Wikipedia to 'verify' the legitimacy of smaller software projects, and to see that this page may be deleted lessens my faith in Wikipedia in this way.

Please consider keeping the information available, if only as a sub section on another page.

Question

How is this software "inspired by the proprietary f.lux" when it came out two years before f.lux? Shouldn't it say "f.lux is a proprietary version of Redshift"? 74.80.51.7 (talk) 07:13, 30 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I thought this was odd too, also the Reviews section shouldn't mention that f.lux has more features 222.155.59.255 (talk) 08:32, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the inspiration statement. --AVRS (talk) 08:43, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
