Developer Feedback and Rust Community Discussion

[ruffsl]

I'd like to invite feedback and discussion from the Rust community or contributors on all aspects of CtrlAssist's development. Topics of interest include program architecture, choice of library dependencies and APIs, virtual input device emulation, gamepad event handling, packaging, release automation, and down streaming to Linux distributions.

Topics for Feedback:

• Rust program architecture and design patterns for input multiplexing
• Use of libraries (gilrs, evdev, udev, clap, etc.) and alternative approaches
• Best practices for virtual input device emulation and compatibility
• Efficient and robust gamepad event handling and state management
• Strategies for packaging, release automation, and distribution to Linux distros
• Experience with controller support on SteamOS, NixOS, Ubuntu, and other platforms
• Suggestions for improving code quality, maintainability, and extensibility

How to Participate:

• Check out the issue tracker for existing bug and proposal features
• Point out potential improvements, pitfalls, or alternative solutions
• Contribute code, documentation, or testing for new features and platforms

Notes:

• All feedback is welcome, from high-level architecture to low-level implementation details
• Community input helps guide future development, ensuring CtrlAssist meets the needs of diverse users and use cases
