match-scoring algorithm as freestanding project? #1756

Closed stumash closed 4 years ago

Info

Problem / Steps to reproduce

It would be awesome if the core match-scoring algorithm was exposed as its own module, maybe even a separate repo. Then we could use your epic algorithm in random applications! Just think, your custom Smith-Waterman would be in autocomplete suggestions all over the internet!

Just an idea for the wishlist. Big fan.

I personally don't have a need for it. if anyone's interested in extracting the code and maintaining the project, feel free to do so.
