Faking contact sheets with an app

I don't enjoy making contact sheets in the darkroom, but I love having them, so Claude and I made an app for it. I've tried printing "Contact sheets" from apps like Lightroom, etc. but they don't look at all like contact sheets. They're just a boring grid. I wanted something nicer. I know, it's cheating, but in just a couple of hours I had a native macOS app that generates JPG or PDF contact sheets from a collection of film scans. I drag the scans onto the app, enter the roll number, camera, film stock, date, and any notes about the roll and I get a reasonable facsimile of a real contact sheet. Here's the app's UI. Simple and all I need. I print them on US Letter sized photo paper. There's room on the left to punch holes for the ring binder. Stack them above the matching negative sleeve and it's almost like the real thing, without the hassle. A printed contact sheet in the binder I wish I had the energy to make actual contact sheets in the darkroom, but I don't. I'll take this…
