A common question with new vintage Macintosh users is "why cant I unstuff this .sit file!" - I've started a resource to help users determine what type of file they have and some options on what they can do (or cant do) with that file.

I call in "What the SIT!":

If you love broken .sit files you can show your love with @Mac84 ".sit happens" shirt - https://shop.mac84.net/products/sit-happens

That's super handy. The 'What Now?' steps are a nice touch too.

Do you plan to have it support any other formats like .hqx?

Likely will expand it, and have ideas for actually doing some cool stuff to integrate files directly into BlueSCSI with it. My constant crusade to make vintage macs a bit easier for newbies.

That's a noble crusade. We get used to the quirky nature of this stuff, but it can be daunting to someone new to the hobby. Nice work!

I genuinely love this sort of project.

Well done, Eric!
