Open source G-code generator for CNC door milling

I retrofitted an old door milling machine's dead control to LinuxCNC, and I made this app to generate the G-code for it.
you write your G-code once with placeholder variables, and the app fills them in, so switching to different diameters of hinges/locks/barrel or adjusting their position and count for different door is easy and doesn't require hand-editing files every time.
I made it open source (GPLv3), and decided to share for people with similar use case.
Github repository : https://github.com/maro7tigre/cnc_doors_milling

also, this started as a similar app I made for frame milling on a different control, also open source (GPLv3) incase you are interested: https://github.com/maro7tigre/cnc_frames_milling

I was planning to merge the two into one generic version, that is configurable for any similar milling use case (your own sets, parameters, previews....) but am not sure if and when I may proceed with that idea..
