LightPaper appears to be abandoned.

There are no contact details on the web site, the feedback option in the application is ignored, and an email sent via the contact on the GitHub page was bounced back. The GitHub site indicates that there has been no activity for over 2 years.

Oh well … it looked like a decent product, though it kept on crashing.
