I'm making a kext updater, because half of the time spent maintaining a hackintosh is keeping it up to date.
A quick thought: Something similar (many) already exist. One is https://www.sl-soft.de/en/kext-updater/, another is https://github.com/ic005k/OCAuxiliaryTools, another is https://github.com/headkaze/Hackintool. Does yours offer something different?
