The next day, the teen's dream seemingly becomes reality as the girl she saw in her dream - Homura - arrives at Mitakihara Middle School as a transfer student, mysteriously warning Madoka to stay just the way she is. But when later on she and her best friend Sayaka encounter the same cat-like magical creature from her dream - who introduces himself as Kyubey - the pair discovers that magical girls are real, and what's more, they can choose to become one. All they must do is sign a contract with Kyubey and agree to take on the duty to fight abstract beings called 'witches' that spread despair to the human world, and in return, each one of them will be granted any single wish they desire. However, as Homura's omen suggests, there might be far more to becoming a magical girl than Madoka and Sayaka realize.",

Commom Issues

Module not found: Error: Can't resolve './styles/nekomata.style' in '/home/User/Path/To/@bsartori/nekomata/dist' Did you mean 'nekomata.style.js'?

You may need to add this to your webpack.config.js file

{
  ...
  module: {
    ...
    rules: [
      ...
      {
        test: /\.m?js/,
        resolve: {
          fullySpecified: false

Roadmap

Would love Pull requests that build towards these objectives and even ideas for new objectives :3

  • File Upload performance and robustness
  • Spawn multiple web workers to handle file uploads
  • Multipart Upload and Resumable Uploads -> Split file in smaller chunks to send them separately. Managing upload failures and being able to re-send files who fails without having to send the entire file again.
  • Dynamize chunk size based on network settings and throttle requests to avoid overcharging the server.
  • Integrity check
  • Metadata generation
  • Discover from filename if content is series or movie and get season/episode number
  • Fetch video metadata from external APIs
  • Use some AI or another technique to determine sections in video file.
  • Video Editor
  • Finish UI
  • Determine which features the video editor will have
  • Determine which features can be done on Front-End by WASM
  • Determine which features will be done in the Back-End
  • General
  • Tests
  • Add a CI pipeline that runs the tests
  • Increase customization options
  • Organize this mess I call code :laughing:
