To-do

  • The rodio backend does not support playback of audio with more than two channels through macOS's "Aggregate Device" which combines different output devices into a single virtual device with more channels.
  • Improve accuracy of Pointer mask alignment.
  • Find gstreamer library version for Linux that will work with this crate's dependencies.
  • Introduce global variables at the Server level which populate the state of scheduler at start, and are written back to Server only after successful completion.
  • Introduce "requires" attribute to Block which means a block can only run after the required blocks. This shouldn't be used for order since it can't be circumvented if necessary.
  • Save the binaries generated for macOS and Linux by CI for specific cases (base, audio, audio+gstreamer, full).
  • Standardize error messages by providing proper contextual information to allow easy debugging.
  • Build a proper documentation for developers and users alike, start from action.
  • Consider replacing the current message broadcast system with a spmc channel (check out the "bus" crate).
  • Consider relegating compile-time asset management to rust-embed.
  • Fix ffmpeg implementation. Currently, this backend is missing a lot of functionality (sound, looping, trigger, etc.).
  • Build one of the media backends (probably ffmpeg) as a static dependency.
  • Find alternative icon font to "font awesome" with open source thin/light icons.
  • Support audio fade-in/out by providing duration (global, block, and local -- like volume):
    • Use crossfade feature of rodio.
    • Find similar feature on gstreamer.
  • Add option for audio cross-fade just in case.
  • Add styling option for certain actions/widgets.
  • Make the logger a trait so users can implement their own versions. Maybe add a derive macro that takes care of the basics, which is optional.
  • Implement a logger with an embedded database, like SQLite or sled.
  • Improve the default widgets styles.
  • A persistent (across Server instantiation) channel to external programs will be needed to handle communication with recording devices, etc.
  • Add Direction task: show virtual head with Left/Right/Front marked on screen. Two modes: Continuous and Quantized(n: u32). If continuous, do math and draw line wherever mouse is pointing. If quantized, divide space into n equal sized slices. Pointer selects slice. Allow for limiting the range of angles? At least front-only (180°) and front-and-back (360°).

Waiting on upstream

  • Text shaping support will hopefully come to egui (and the Rust ecosystem) in the future, which will allow better text support. Though this could take a very long time.
