Loadouts for Genshin Impact

Loadouts for Genshin Impact

This is a desktop application that allows travelers to manage their custom equipment of artifacts and weapons for playable characters and makes it convenient for travelers to calculate the associated statistics based on their equipment using the semantic understanding of how the gameplay works. Travelers can create their bespoke loadouts consisting of characters, artifacts and weapons and share them with their fellow travelers. Supported file formats include a human-readable Yet Another Markup Language (YAML) serialization format and a JSON-based Genshin Open Object Definition (GOOD) serialization format.

This project is currently in its beta phase and we are committed to delivering a quality experience with every release we make. If you are excited about the direction of this project and want to contribute to the efforts, we would greatly appreciate it if you help us boost the project visibility by starring the project repository, address the releases by reporting the experienced errors, choose the direction by proposing the intended features, enhance the usability by documenting the project repository, improve the codebase by opening the pull requests and finally, persist our efforts by sponsoring the development members.
