Find replacement for algebra.js #492

Closed kulla closed 1 year ago

kulla commented 4 years ago

The project https://github.com/nicolewhite/algebra.js which we use to compare algebraic expressions was archived by the owner. Thus we shall look for a replacement.

Last time I checked (a couple of years ago), there was no suitable alternative that covered our current use cases as well as algebra.js. I'm fine with switching to something better / actively developed but IMHO it's also fine to stick to algebra.js since we only use it one place and there's no security issue related to it. Quickly glancing at the source code, it also looks fine and - if needed at some point - we could easily fork it or move the source code into this repo directly.

Still using algebra.js in the frontend without apparent problems so far.
