Description

I am interested in a Julia package for spin-weighted spherical harmonics (or vector spherical harmonics). I like FastTransforms.jl, but I found it difficult to get started. While experimenting with FastTransforms.jl, I wrote a package https://github.com/eschnett/FastSphericalHarmonics.jl that is a shim around FastTransforms.jl, adding documentation, examples, and test cases (to ensure my understanding of the technical details is correct). I also added a few functions that are easier to use for beginners.

I'd be happy to create a pull request to move the respective parts of FastSphericalHarmonics.jl into FastTransforms.jl. If so, would you have any particular requests for how to organise this?

Research direction

Start by reviewing FastSphericalHarmonics.jl and comparing its documentation, examples, and test cases with FastTransforms.jl. Identify which beginner-oriented material and functions could be moved, then confirm the desired organisation with maintainers. Done means an agreed subset is integrated into FastTransforms.jl with its examples and tests.
