}Interested in contributing to this project? There are always things to do. The list of to-do items, bug reports, and feature requests is always evolving. I try to keep a semi-structured list here. Is there something you would be interested in? Get in touch and I will guide you in the right direction. Thanks!
All files are located in one folder, called EcoAssist_files. You can uninstall EcoAssist by simply deleting this folder. Please be aware that it's hidden, so you'll probably have to adjust your settings before you can see it (find out how to: macOS, Windows, Linux). If you're planning on updating EcoAssist, there is no need to uninstall it first. It will do that automatically.
