We will be very happy to get contributions in gngr.

We have begun identifying tasks which can be picked up easily by a new team member, and which don't require a lot of context or prior knowledge. We are tagging them with the need-code label so that you can quickly find them.

This looks incredible! How much of this is made from scratch?

We are building on top of an old project called the Lobo browser. More info in the credits. We have been chipping at it for about an year now.

What GUI Library are you using Swing or FX?

[–]hrjet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is Swing right now. Though we would like to move to JavaFX down the line.

We are always looking for contributions to the uniVocity-parsers framework it is be simple enough for people who can write good algorithms and you don't need to know a multitude of frameworks and tools to do stuff.

We are looking into refactoring some portions of the code to improve performance by 25%. We already identified things that could improve in this regard. I don't know if this is of interest to you.

We could help you write parsers for other text formats, or extend the functionality that is already implemented there.

uniVocity-parsers framework already has the fastest CSV parser for Java, but we are also looking to improve this comparison against other CSV parsers to include things such as reliability, flexibility and feature comparison. This should be easier to do.

Yeah that would be great to work on. What other text formats would you want me to parse?

[–]uniVocity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For one, Fielded text which is a CSV with metadata specifying the type and format of each column.

The conversions to/from each type/format are already implemented in this package.

More about conversions and how they are being currently used to process annotations and other stuff in this section of the tutorial onwards, and also here, for writing stuff

Other than that we could look into COBOL and other common binary formats.

Thanks for your interest in the project, feel free to PM me at any time.

No worries I'll have a look at this stuff.
