Software Standards
Hello, I'm here to propose some software standards. This post isn't supposed to be all about me, I want the community to come together to make sure we're not stepping on each others toes whenever we make software, games, ect. Currently it's sorta the wild west, so the only thing I can suggest (which I've done with SLATE) is that we put application installs and preferences inside of their own folder within the /appdata/ folder.
I don't want to make standards nobody is going to use, so please comment on this post to talk about any standards for anything that could be useful to everyone.
Personally a new standard I've been thinking of is creating a central libraries folder that software can prompt downloads for libraries it might need, so that no one has to reinvent the wheel every time they make an application (although it is so early I don't think this needs to be a focus yet).
