Description

Hi -

I'm interested in building cross platform apps leveraging KB as the back-end. A cross platform client SDK would be really useful in getting me/us from 0 to app in 10 minutes. Please consider the following features for the same:

  1. Maybe a native library with a C header file. C because most languages can invoke it using bindings. Also, C because go libs can be wrapped as C. Libgit2 is an excellent example of this in use at scale.

  2. Wrappers in popular client languages. My wish list is C, C++, C#/Xamarin.

  3. The newly announced git support is also something we'd prefer you actively maintain within the scope of the SDK v/s relying on hooks. git-push & git-fetch are the only commands you'll need to support. git-pull is basically a local merge after a fetch (for instance from origin/master --> master), hence not requiring your attention.

Cheers

Research direction

The issue names no repository files, tests, or entry points to start from. First define the SDK scope and interfaces for a native C library, C/C++/C# wrappers, and git push/fetch support; done would require an agreed cross-platform design and maintained implementations.
