Do you like listening to LDS General Conference talks? Do you wish you had a girlfriend? Do you need a way to download General Conference talks in bulk?
Wilford can help you with 2 of those!
Wilford is a simple text-based program that lets you download General Conference Talks from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints by speaker.
WARNING This program is kind of janky when compiled. You might just have a better experience downloading the source code than trying to run it from the "executable" in the release
If you want to try out Wilford, then you have two options: Remember this is a beta program built by a random college kid. There are a million problems with this. I'm keeping track of things to do here
Click here to download the latest release of Wilford. Download the file based on your operating system. (wilford-macos for Mac, etc)
- Download both
wilford-macos-vX.X.Xandinstall-mac.sh - Open Terminal in the download directory
- Run these commands to get macOS to let you run the code:
chmod +x wilford-macos xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine wilford-macos
- When running for the first time, you'll need to:
- Right-click the executable
- Select 'Open'
- Click 'Open' in the security dialog
Simply download and double-click wilford-windows.exe. Windows may show a security warning since the app isn't signed - click "More info" and then "Run anyway" to proceed.
I don't use Linux, so these install steps come from our AI friend Claude. Trust at your own peril.
