But it doesn't look anything like the old liveusb-creator,
and in my case it doesn't create a bootable USB stick.
Does it work for you?
Yes, it was rewritten. Now it uses only dd to write to a flash drive and
it indeed is capable of restoring a flash drive containing Fedora to its
factory settings.
Using it to write other distributions is not a tested use case (at least
as of now) - the iso you used probably has a different layout than Fedora
iso's which could be the cause of it not detecting your drive for
restoring.
I'm the guy responsible for the rewrite so please hit me with any issue or
suggestion you have, either directly or through bugzilla or even the
upstream github repo [1]
