Kas Design

This is a repository of Kas design documentation. Like the Rust RFCs repo, its intended purpose is to document design goals and to allow open discussion.

Current status: I (Diggory Hardy) have many unpublished notes. I plan to publish at least some of these here to clarify design intention.

Format

This repository will contain a series of design documents. See the template.

Process

Unlike Rust RFCs, there is no formal acceptance procedure in place. Documents may be added without a comment period. In case you have a concern regarding a document without an open Pull Request or Issue, please open a new issue here.

Organisation

The following categories currently exist for organisation purposes. Do not create design documents under the project root.

• draw: drawing APIs and technologies (e.g. WGPU, OpenGL, Piet)
• theme: visual design and theme API
• text: fonts, shaping, emojis, formatting (note: see also input category)
• accessibility: translation, accessibility tools, etc.
• widget: widget traits, state, construction
• input: user input and event handling
• layout: sizing and positioning of widgets
• windowing: commonly applicable aspects of window construction, placement, focus, scaling
• platform: platform-specific stuff (e.g. Android integration)
• resouces: resouce management
• other: documents which do not fit under other categories
• rejected: proposals which have been considered and later rejected
