It's been a year since the first commits by Ariel and I couldn't be happier about the impact which Ariel's dedication, skill and use of AI has had on the ViewTouch code base, one the appearance of ViewTouch at GitHub and on the ViewTouch user interface. To bring so much life and new vision, to thoroughly refactor the code base in creating such a long list of improvements, and to thereby ensure a vibrant future for ViewTouch is a magnificent testament to Ariel's professionalism and talents.

As of today, June 2026, ViewTouch is a much changed and much improved software program during the past year, changes which began in 2025. It's more versatile, more reliable, easier to use and has a more intuitive interface than in June of 2025. There have been 250 commits in the past year. Since beginning the creation of ViewTouch in 1986, when I was 37 years of age, I have many times been asked about the future of ViewTouch, if and when I would no longer be able to stand behind it and guide it. The answer to this quite valid query is that although I will continue to stand behind ViewTouch, this fine young man, Ariel Brambila Pelayo has, beyond the shadow of any doubt, earned the right to share with me the ownership of the ViewTouch code base, GitHub presence and ViewTouch interface. ViewTouch is, therefore, in very good hands for a very long time to come.
