Nice.
There is a line in Johnny:
temp << QString("%1:%2::%3\n").arg(user).arg(hash).arg(hash);
Do you see any problems with it? If there is a problem then
- provide an example of input to trigger the problem.
- How would you fix it?
- Does the fix work with your example?
- Push the fix into a separate branch in your public repo please.

We are interested in your work on Johnny. I think Shinnok may be the
mentor. I'll keep an eye on your work too.
