How you can help this project

WLJS Notebook is modular project.

Please, contact @JerryI before working on code and etc.

Here is some to-do list grouped by repos

wolfram-js-frontend

server, IO, UI, cells manager, render process and client app

Primary

• Electron app auto-updater. Use Github releases to update client app automatically (probably won't work for linux)
• tutorials/examples for new users (no WL background) on Wolfram Language
• autotests in a format of WLJS notebook, which go though most features
• more example on differnet topics (for data-scientists, scientists, students, ...)

Main repo is stable and there are no urget needs in any refactoring

wljs-graphics-d3

Primary

• Inset works incorrectly on Image and other Graphics objects.
• PlotLegends are not rendered inside a Graphics object (acts like a wrapper). Exported figures do not show legends.

Secondary

• misssing implementations for FilledCurve, ...
• GraphicsComplex with many Polygon is too slow. Especially it can be seen on ContourPlot, since it produces tons of SVG paths.

wljs-graphics3d-threejs

Primary

• AxesLabel, Ticks, does not have any effect. PlotRange is absent.
• Text is not implemented in the context of Graphics3D

Secondary

• RTX feature shows incorrect faces of polygons (black triangles) on OSX (probably also depends on a browser)

wljs-inputs

Primary

• TableForm does not support styling
• Dataset does not support nested sets with asscoiations or other datasets inside.
• Entity is not supported

wljs-markdown

Primary

• get rid of double backslashes from LaTeX somehow (single backslash causes problems with encoding)

wljs-slides

Primary

• get rid of double backslashes from LaTeX somehow (single backslash causes problems with encoding)

wljs-video

Primary

• video preview is extremely slow, decoding from video to a set of images is a main bottleneck.
• no sound (need to be used together with PCM streamer from wljs-audio)

wljs-sound

Primary

• Sound does not works with nested list of SoundNote
• Sound[SoundNote[...]] needs a proper syntax sugar for showing piano roll and possible note names

Mics

• Wolfram Language Documentation (frontend agnostic and in a Markdown format)
• support for syntax sugar for NeuralNetwork package of Wolfram Language. For now it is not clear, how to clean up Mathematica's MakeBoxes definitons for various neural network object. There is a possibility to use wrapper function, see more in Issue.
• write a fast implementation of parser/encoder of WXF in Javascript. For now we use ExpressionJSON for communication, which does not use features of NumericArray and ByteArray and adds a large overhead in serializaing/deserializing on WL's and JS's sides. There is a preliminaly work posted already.
