The place where random ideas get written down and lost in time.
2014-10-09 - Research page for BX07
Category DEVI've added a new idea/research page for BX07.
I just realized the scope exactly covers Ikaria v2 and more or less v1:
- Both are "skeleton" apps, destined to be reused for future projects; some kind of framework/sample to avoid re-writing the same thing all the time.
- Both are supposed to be rather horizontal and cover a lot of areas, namely server-vs-app, remote sync/cloud, IAB & licensing.
- Both are supposed to be "validated" by extensive testing rather than actual implementation.
- Both will not happen for exactly that reason.
The realization is that I have lots of ideas and thus I'll tend to focus on the actual results rather than the theoretical ones -- which will best remain as doc write ups.
There's also the mythical idea that they don't get implementation because writing software is hard and time consuming and thus if I had a framework to work upon, it would make everything more smoother.
The former realization seems valid, the latter is a load of BS. Frameworks don't make things easier -- they canalize in one direction and make it harder to be flexible and do things outside of their scope. Since my ideas are generally quite broad and volatile, attempts at frameworks don't help -- e.g. RLib for example.
