- Be patient. This is a relatively new technology for developers as well. Much effort is already being put into making this program easy to use for the average user. It just takes time!

-## What is this repo?
-It is a community repository for active users.
-
-## Why this repo?
-The joshua-wu repo seems not active. Simple bugs like missing _http://_ in front of urls have not been solved since days.
-
-## Why is it named 'deepfakes' if it is not /u/deepfakes?
- 1. Because a typosquat would have happened sooner or later as project grows
- 2. Because we wanted to recognize the original author
- 3. Because it will better federate contributors and users
-
-## What if /u/deepfakes feels bad about that?
-This is a friendly typosquat, and it is fully dedicated to the project. If /u/deepfakes wants to take over this repo/user and drive the project, he is welcomed to do so (Raise an issue, and he will be contacted on Reddit). Please do not send /u/deepfakes messages for help with the code you find here.
