Architectural Decision Records (45 rpm)

Picture
An Architecture Decision Record (ADR) is a point-in-time document that records architectural decisions and the reasoning behind them. And since communicating architectural ideas clearly to collaborators is extra important in open-source, I've just added a bunch of ADRs to the Documentation page.​

​They cover various aspects of the FrankenScore architecture, from high-level design decisions to specific technical choices. They are:
​
  • ADR-0000: Choice of Clojure as the Primary Programming Language
  • ADR-0001: Separation of Frontend and Backend into Distinct Clojure Applications
  • ADR-0002: Adoption of gRPC for Communication Between Frontend and Backend
  • ADR-0003: Integration of Plugins as a Core Architectural Component
  • ADR-0004: Implementation of Software Transactional Memory (STM) for Concurrency
  • ADR-0005: Selection of JavaFX and Skija for the Frontend GUI
  • ADR-0006: Adoption of SMuFL (Standard Music Font Layout) for Music Notation
  • ADR-0007: Implementation of Nippy for File Persistence
  • ADR-0008: Implementation of Vector Path Descriptors (VPDs)
  • ADR-0009: Implementation of Real-Time Collaborative Features
