Few of you may know that I’m interested in astrology. About two months ago
|
||
I have decided to create an astrologers’ software for the GNOME desktop.
|
||
Since then, I have contacted Jean-André Santoni, who created a software
|
||
called [Astrognome](https://code.google.com/p/astrognome/) some years ago.
|
||
We exchanged some e-mails, and after several weeks of coding, I’m proud to
|
||
present [SWE-GLib](https://github.com/gergelypolonkai/swe-glib) 1.0.1. This
|
||
is “just” a library which wraps around [Swiss
|
||
Ephemeris](http://www.astro.com/swisseph/), creating a nice GLib-ish
|
||
interface around it. See the project page and the built-in GTK-Doc document
|
||
for more information.
|
||
|
||
The astrologer’s software I’m writing will be
|
||
[Astrognome](https://github.com/gergelypolonkai/astrognome) (thanks for
|
||
Jean-André for letting me use the name). It is currently in pre-alpha
|
||
status, but already utilizes SWE-GLib (it just can’t display the results
|
||
yet). If you happen to be interested in astrology and/or Astrognome, fork
|
||
the repository and contribute! You can also contact me (or open an
|
||
enhancement issue on GitHub) if you have any ideas.
