Development
Welcome to the development section of the noodle project site!
You’ll find information about the different components of the project, its direction, details about development, design decisions, planned features, etc.
If you’d like to contribute changes to noodle’s source code, you’ll need git, cmake, and knowledge of C++!
- Use git to clone the noodle_cli repo.
git clone --recurse-submodules git://franciscogg.site/noodle_cli.git
- Implement a change you think is an improvement. Doesn’t have to be in the list of issues. Please test it and create a patch file.
git format-patch -1 <commit-hash-for-the-commit-with-your-changes>
- Please verify the patch file only includes your intended change and send it to the following email address.
c5cmv5587@mozmail.com
You can also just send an email to let me know you want to be added to the mailing list.
You can also contribute by chatting about design. Should we try to eliminate the node-cache? How do we go about implementing a plugin API? What is a geometer? See the discussion section for more thoughts, inspiration for ideas, and how to get in touch.
The goal is 2025.0.1:
I don’t personally mind the interface being a little rough around the edges.
But it does need to be usable.
My priority is getting to a state where the core concept is recognizable.
I want to replace the standard library containers that make up the multiplex graph with something custom that has better performance.
It’s supposed integrate a basic geometer, even if it isn’t efficient.
That and some additional quality of life features I think would mark the end of the alpha.
Themes:
- Refine abstractions (not too much, not too little).
- Build base geometer, and modular geometer interface if we have time.
- Reduce jankiness.
Other:
- Remove dependencies.
- Cross platform support is nice, but not a top concern.
- Quality of life features like man pages, better help etc.
