potato-illustrator

potato-illustrator is a mono-space text flow-chart editor written in Haskell. It is currently a work in progress and an ALPHA release should be available soon.

architecture

potato-illustrator is written using reflex and follows a strict MVC architecture. This repository contains the platform-independent model and controller. The View is connected to the reflex interface defined by GoatWidget.

potato-illustrator-vty is currently the only view implementation. It is written in reflex-vty and runs in a terminal yay. Please see potato-illustrator-vty if you'd like to try it out.

Contribution Guide

Help wanted! I will of course review any PR. For large or small ideas, it would be best to drop me an email first at chippermonky at gmail dot com

Below are a list of tasks that I think would be extra good projects to work on

• UNICODE wide character support
• add text selection support to current TextZipper implementation
• refactoring 😑
