I would just like to give a status update about the Openframe extension. The most important parts are implemented, which also means it reliably deals with PDE files zip files and libraries in the code folder (at least on my end). I would like to release it asap. At the moment I’m waiting for two things though.
- I still need access to the
openframe-processingNPM package in order to push to it. I’m already in contact with the owner. - There are some changes necessary in the Openframe Pi client. I’ve already worked on this and have done a pull request. The owner of the Openframe project is on low bandwidth though, so I have to wait for him to approve and merge the code and do a new release of the Openframe Pi client.
I still think a curated list with preinstalled libraries might be useful in the future. Though first, it might be good to see how the extension behaves in the wild with people using it.
Since the code folder seems to offer an option to ship libraries, I also think this is not a high priority anymore.I see more important things that should be done on Openframe to make it easier to use and grow a community. I would like to dedicate my time to those things first.
That said, I welcome anyone working on preinstalled libraries and/or doing pull requests.
