Title: Back to the development of "PSKOV" Date: 2024-11-14 00:00 Category: News Slug: pskov-again Lang: en
"PSKOV" today
Now, we have an old "PSKOV" version and we need an improved one.
First, we should recall what "PSKOV" consists of:
- The generator itself in the form of HTML page with JavaScript
- Helper Python script to save generated files to disk
Helper script is used to bypass web page restriction to access local file system.
The script itself is a tiny web server with the following commands:
| № | Command | Details |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GET /path |
Get current working directory path |
| 2 | POST /list |
Get a list of files in the requested directory |
| 3 | POST /read |
Get file's contents |
| 4 | POST /write |
Write file's contents |
"PSKOV" tomorrow
Thus, the simplest way to get back to "PSKOV" development is to rewrite the helper script. I decided to replace Python with Kotlin because:
- Kotlin can be compiled for desktop, mobile, and web
- Kotlin is strictly typed
These two factors simplify future work with portable code.
As of now, I have GET /path implemented for JVM, macOS, and Windows (image
in the beginning).
November
I plan to implement the following commands in November:
POST /listPOST /read
