Federation seems great but obsolet but it doesn’t work on edge.
lua is not stable and I can’t spend hours to develop this feature. It’s not enough mature.
Note: it only works when you can reach your SilverBullet server. When I’m not on my home network it shows: Lua error: offline, because http.request proxies the request via the SilverBullet server.
I have swtich to edge to have a fix of regressiion but It has not been released and published.
Are there some ideas or current process to have:
stable version
pre-release version (with fixes) or to publish quickly fixes (make releases on stream for fixes)
edge (next-version)
What is the test coverage of SB
SB is very interesting and community is awesome and like the coder side of the product.
But on another hand, It’s not easy to gain SB skills because it’s changing quickly, many regressions appear, because a large custom features, it’s difficult to find documentation.
I have doubt about a long term use. I spend to many time to add feature , to debug, to fix.
To my mind and to be popular, Sb have to reach some maturity and stability.
Lambda people want to have a stable note-taking application. The coder side is a big plus but after basics.
I understand that it’s a difficult goal to reach for open software that why I will continue to use it and invert time on it a couple of month and after that I will take a decision about its use.
Stability is definitely important. I used to develop a relatively popular plug-in for Foundry VTT, but the product was changing too fast at the beginning for me to keep up.
I have high hopes for v2.0.0. Removing a large part of the code base is going to hurt part of the current userbase, but it’s going to have a long lasting benefit of fewer issues and improved focus. Lua is very flexible/expressive, so I predict that SilverBullet will fulfill its promise of a light and stable base with great extensibility.
For serious use, I simply create plain markdown pages with a couple of queries at the moment. I have a separate space to tinker with more complicated things. When the dust of development settles a bit, I also feel more at ease to utilize more of its power in my ‘production’ notes.
