#Roadmap Instead of creating a ticket for each thing this document outlines the direction of the development.

Cleanup

project tree

Clean root with:
- Source:
  - lib
  - (+Debian?, ....)
- utility scripts:
  - create IDE
  - build debian package
  - etc....
- Update README

Create lib

Containing all non gui logic.
Behaving like current "Quiet" mode.
Message based communication to gui.

Googletest

In separate binary.
Testing only the lib
Coverage

Build Debian package

Can the debian directory be outside project root?

Build rpm

Remove cmake package

Use only native.

Separate UI

gtkmm
wxWidgets?
console?

Optimization

In order of importance:

Readability and maintenance.
Robustness.
Performance.

Readability

Guidelines to contributors on what is expected.
Reduce complexity.
Pass by value.
camelCase -> snake_case.
parameter lists formatted as lists.
Remove noise
- ::getName() -> ::name()
- liberal use of "using namespace".
One publisher of events for whole library.

robustness

Immutable.
No smart pointers if not needed.
No raw pointers.
No naked news.
No null.
No unscoped "using namespace" in header files

New language features

Use the new stuff when beneficial.

optional.
replace string_sprintf with fmt
auto.
Copy elision (return value optimization).
Move constructors for entities.
Lambda.
[[fallthrough]], [[nodiscard]] and [[maybe_unused]]
string_view
invoke?
filesystem
Multi line strings: R"(....)";
std::format when available. Meanwhile: https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt

And maybe more.

Done

Cleanup of directory structure

Moving src to subdirectory
async instead of thread
