Introduction

---

As you see current Assist implementation have lot of errors. Lot of them are hidden. For example lot of protocol security issues and file data base, which works good while files are small enough. Last, but most important disadvantage is programming language, which was chosen by previous developers and which is incredibly annoying.


Proposition

Write new one, faster one, easier one, safer one, cuter one. Write it in C++, python and php... How the hell we can write it in php? Well, my idea about GUI is quite strange. I know that is hard to write application that looks good on all desktop environments. My favorite GUI framework is Qt, which is really powerful tool, but it have terrible disadvantage -- it is heavy.  So I decided to chose environment that is safe and that is really portable. Environment like that is web browser. Lot of things that are good could stay unchanged or gently modified . For example communication protocol. It need some lifting (encryption, standardization).

Conclusion

What do you think about my idea? Have you got any questions about it? Or maybe you are person, whom I looking for and you want to help?

But, do not forget do add objective there, because de_aztec without planting is boring for me.
You could add there "extraction" objective or PC with data like on IC.

Hi,
I've got important request and I'd be grateful if you consider and apply it.

25Assit data directory is set as /home/USERNAME/25Assist/, which isn't good for some reasons. Most important of it is that it isn't hidden and it is placed directly in user homedir.
What I propose it is to set it as defined in: XDG Base Directory Specification.
In other words it should be set to $XDG_DATA_HOME/25Assist or if $XDG_DATA_HOME is not defined it should be: $HOME/.local/share/25Assist.

Yours sincerely

Jonny, did you ask AA developers about sources? Maby they will give it to us?
