Ergogen TODO

CLI

key-level access to full anchors
- this could provide extra variables padding, spread, splay for custom layout purposes
- make row anchors cumulative, too (like columns), so fingers arcs and other edits can happen
remove _default suffix for only column keys (like for single point zones)
Restructure pcb point/footprint filtering
- Use the same what/where infrastructure as outlines
- Collapse params/nets/anchors into a single hierarchy from the user's POV
- Add per-footprint mirror support
- Add some way for footprints to be able to "resist" the mirroring-related special treatment of negative X shift, rotation, etc.
Merge, generalize, uniform-ize and externalize footprints!
- Separate npm package for dependency, onnx-like incremental opset versioning
- Template for creating them, built-in variables they can use, documentation, external links, etc.
  - Add access to whole set of points + filtering logic, so they can implement their own connection logic as well maybe (see daisy chaining)
- Also considering how (or, on which layer) they define their silks, universal mirroring behaviour, etc.
- Rename class to designator in this context (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_designator#Designators)
- Include raw kicad footprint integrations
  - pull torik's script to be able to convert raw kicad footprints into positionable ergogen ones
  - have a dummy footprint which can just be updated from schematic

Shift/rotate/scale for outline elements before layout
Allow footprints to publish outlines
- Make these usable in the outlines section through a new what
3D orient for cases
Post-process anchor for global (post-mirror!) orient/shift/rotate for everything
Even more extreme anchor stuff
- Checkpoints, intersects, distances, weighted combinations?
Allow both object (as well as arrays) in multiple anchor refs
SVG input (for individual outlines, or even combinations parsed by line color, etc.)
- And once that's done, possibly even STL or other input for cases or pcb renders
Support text silk output to PCBs (in configurable fonts, through SVG?)
- Maybe a partial markdown preprocess to support bold and italic?
Look into gr_curve to possibly add beziers to the kicad conversion
- Support curves (arcs as well as Béziers) in polygons
Add snappable line footprint
Figure out a manual, but still reasonably comfortable routing method directly from the config
Add filleting syntax with @?
Eeschema support for pcbs
Generate ZMK shield from config
Export to KLE?
Include 3D models paths in kicad output for visualization
- Also, provide 3D models for built-in footprints
Look into kicad 5 vs. 6 output format
Update json schema and add syntax highlight to editors
Support different netclasses
round, pointy and beveled symbolic constants for expand joint types
- also, string shorthands like 3), 5> and 10]

Change over to Cache's live preview implementation
Add missing KLE functionality
Create browserified version of semver lib
- Or at least a shim with a console warning
Visualizing multiple outlines at once, with different colors

Propagate log output from the ergogen module
Attempt to auto-compile (if inactive for n secs, or whatever)
Support saving to gists
Add kicad_pcb visualization as well
Get dropdown examples from a separate repo
Expand the config dropdown with opensource stuff: corne, lily, ergodox, atreus...

n00b tutorials
- With a progression of increasingly complex steps
- And lots of illustrations!
Complete reference
- Some known deficiencies:
  - Units separated to their own block at the front
  - Key-level width and height are supported during visualization
  - This key-level example should probably be added from discord: https://discord.com/channels/714176584269168732/759825860617437204/773104093546676244
  - Change outline fields to have their full anchor support documented
  - Mention the ability to opt out of gluing!
  - Key-level defaults are based around u's, not 19!
Contribution guidelines
- Include test commands (npm test, npm run coverage, --what switch, --dump switch)
Changelog, Roadmap
A public catalog of real-life ergogen configs
- Probably could be the same as the separate examples repo for the dropdown
