Forking question #37

Open erplsf opened 3 years ago

erplsf commented 3 years ago

Would you mind it if I fork your project but rewrite it completely? I want to possibly ditch the Python sever and extend/modernize the user interface a lot? Otherwise I'd use the project as inspiration and write my own from scratch.

Asking this here, because there's no other way to reach you.

Please, go ahead! I'd be interested in your changes. This project was a way for me to learn Android development, so each feature was a struggle. I tried to keep it minimal (as a design choice), but the less features the easier it was for me.

I want to possibly ditch the Python sever

Out of curiosity, ditch it completely or rewrite it in another language?

Thanks for the reply! But after late-night thoughts, I figured out I want to change it too much and it doesn't make sense forking it. I want to rewrite Android part in Kotlin, make it use mpv json-ipc natively. As for the server part - I wanted to rewrite it in Rust (also to get more experience with it), keep the security, but make it dumber - just proxy json forward and back and maybe keep persistent connection to mpv for stuff like events. I can post a link here if you're interested when the app reaches 0.0.1.

Yeah, definitely! I might borrow some Rust bits too :)

Good luck! I'm looking forward to seeing your app. I can add a link to it on this project's README too
