Hello, I've created a PR on https://github.com/x-tools/xtools/pull/441
Now I would need a vhost to make it work from a navigator, I will then add an Apache or Nginx container (or I can create it from scratch if needed).
And it all is fine and merged, then I would be glad to continue by upgrading PHP to 8.2 and add some more stuff.

Wow, thank you @JackPotte! I've left a review of the PR.

Getting another dev on board for XTools would be amazing! I'm not sure we're quite ready for PHP 8.2 yet, though. I'm just now finishing up a major refactor to upgrade Symfony (T331939). In order to deploy it, I will be building a new VPS instance on Debian Bullseye, which ships with only PHP 7.4 (currently XTools in production is still on Buster / PHP 7.2). We can of course add a source for 8.2 and still use it, but I guess my point is that if we want to use PHP 8+, that decision needs to be made soon as it requires building a new instance. I am eager to get a new version of XTools out as it hasn't seen update since last July.
