🧨 #GitHub's tarball/zip generation via #Git archive excludes submodules
✅ So… moving to fetch C++ deps via #curl now
🔄 Finished shell.js to shell.jsx (#SolidJS) migration

🐳 Built #Dockerfile twice:

🚫 First attempt on Debian Bookworm failed due to libstdc++-12 being too old

✅ Switched to #ubuntu:22.04 for newer deps

🛠️ Updated Makefiles to remove Git dependency from tarball builds (unfinished)

🧬 Fixed some of my #LitElement bugs by migrating to solid
🧩 Refactored & simplified modal dialog creation

🎯 Goal: Robust UI with modern reactivity patterns!

#DevLog: #Anklang: Testing #SolidJS

🚀 Migrated our main UI shell from #Lit to Solid
⚡ Using Signals definitely made dealing with reactivity easier
🧩 This is still a test migration to get a basic feel, but it looks like a significant improvement overall

For #Anklang we expect to have lots of small updates at the GUI, but the number of components (Tracks, Clips) remains mostly stable throughput the runtime. We do however have some heavy canvas uses (PianoRoll, Spectrogram).

It wasn't too easy to map these requirements onto Vue2/Vue3, which is why we moved to Lit. However for Lit we also have to bundle a Signals library to implement all needed updates and still see missing updates / complains about too many rerenders at the UI.

Since we need Signals anyway, it makes sense to look into SolidJS as a UI solution as well.

So here is a Wiki page with the result of LLMs comparing the two under our requirements:

🚀 Migrated to #TailwindCSS-4 + #Vite (#HMR rocks)

🐞 Replaced Vue with SolidJS signals + #LitElement

💡 Fixed sidebar overlaps, double-click bugs

🚧 Quirk debugging still ongoing, but progress is solid!
