Firstly, thank you to developers for their contributions to opensource note taking software mdsilo.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
As a notetaking user, I was considering mdSilo. I was attracted to mdsilo when I noticed that part of it is written in rust.
I guess that rust/tauri framework was mainly chosen for
the tauri webgui framework that renders to the webdom.
tauri app framework allows compilation to many targets win/lnx/mac/web etc
I haven't yet read the code to understand the design architecture of mdsilo, but if were designed so that heavy duty performance-demanding, note processing, searching code is in rust backend, then the app would be very fast.
So this RFE is to have a docs/softcomp.md file that documents the list of software components (feature implementations) in mdSilo related to notetaking that are in typescript and those that are in rust and benefit from its speed. Maybe also a justification on why they are where they are, and attempts at backend-ing.
Ex (the below is an imaginatively made up list, not intended to be correct) <- the request is for you to document this as a exhaustive and correct list.
FrontEnd (typescript)
markdown editor
specialized block rendering like mermaid diagrams, vector graphics, music notes
visual spell check
Backend (rust)
note search find/replace
backlink processing
Q) Has it at all been a design guideline and ongoing consideration to move the heavy duty code to the rust-backend.
The following bug seemed to be of the same intent [1]
The use of such list apart from informing users, is that it may double up as a todo list and help developers to keep sight of things that could benefit from performance coding.
Describe the solution you'd like
An extremely performant, fast notetaking app, that is also small in size.
Describe alternatives you've considered
C++ (Vnote), common-lisp(lem), rust and haskell (emanote) are blazing fast as they are compiled programming languages. They either compile or JIT-compile to native machine code. They are also capable of true multi-threading. There are not many in note taking apps in this space, and applications state are still very primitive. Needless to sat programming in these languages is hard.
Other languages like java/clojurescript(logseq)/javascript/typescript(zettlr,joplin) are a relatively slower than those previously mentioned.
Interpreted languages do have the advantage that they are easy to develop in.
Another route was the wasm framework, but no such alternative exist as of this writing.
