Clarify the purpose of the library #40
Comments
Quoting https://getsession.org/blog/session-release-roundup-17:
I still wonder about the "util" part in the lib name, though :). |
this lib started as a set of utilities to slowly replace the multiple slightly different implementations in a piecewise manner. |
At the moment, it's still utilities to help with Session. One day, if it morphs into something more, it'll likely get renamed. |
It's unclear why the lib is called
libsession-util
instead of, for example,libsession
. Will this be used for everything but client-specific features (e.g., business logic, UI, persistence, etc.) in Session clients, or is this library only a collection of utilities that are useful for building Session clients but not enough (i.e., you will still need to write custom code for handling the cryptography)?While the answers to those questions would be satisfying for me, it'd be better to add a short description of what the library is/will be in the README. I do understand that it's still in active development, and this will probably be clarified in the future, but it could be helpful for potential future users of the lib (i.e., if this will eventually cover all aspects of the Session protocol, I can already integrate it into a Session Dart package I'm working, figure out the API, make it more idiomatic for Dart, instead of re-implementing everything from ground-up (my original idea)) :)
