Dumping Archon, creating a new tournament guiding app?

Greets!

I was just wondering if there's any intention to dump Archon for good and create a new tournament conducting application, which is easier to use, deals with early leaves, DQ-s, can randomize players in the first round, etc, etc...

Back in the day, when the community asked for a program other than Archon, White Wolf did not allow it. Now it is different, and by God, we need a steady, dependable method, easily operated by any organizer not just excel wizards.

Is there anyone feeling alike?

We are tthinking (me and nicola) to a web based app like joustingpavillion

Because programming is beyond my areas of expertise, and I haven't tried to hire an expert to do it. Believe me I would gladly create it, because with the relunch of VtES by BCP I consider ritiring Archon and having a new tournament guiding interface a priority.

Amaranth already have a randomize seating for multiple players ready, works on iOS, Android and web.
I think this is a head start

Thank you for bringing this up. One of my main frustrations as an organizer has been difficulty in getting Archon to work when I need it to. This lead to my using paper cards, which has been superior in reliability up until the time I need to report the results. Translating the cards back into the Archon is such a pain that I don't want to do it, which has lead to some difficulty getting players entered into the TWDA appropriately.

If we can use a simple, reliable program that doesn't go haywire I would appreciate it.
