How to get more information about your project

[cxxxr]

Hi, Alexander.
Thank you for the great product.

I am writing a frontend that will list ultralisp specific tagged projects from lem now.

I would like to add some functionality here, but the current API makes it difficult.
For example

• Installation of the specified project
  I don't know the name of the target for quickload from the project name.
• View project details
  I would like to see the details of a project selected from the list
  For example, I want to display a readme.
• Getting repository information
• License
• Author

There may be other things I would like to do as I use the system more, but at present I would like to know about the above items.

I'd appreciate your help.

For installation details you need to call get-project-systems. It will give some info about known ASDF systems in the project.

Other info you want, is not stored in the database yet and will require additional work to collect and to provide via API. This could be done later.

The most difficult part is README collection, because we'll need to store files in S3 bucket and probably to do some sort of format unification - some projects are using markdown, others restructured text, some use other formats.

Thank you for your answer.
So how do I get the source?
https://ultralisp.org/projects/ultralisp/ultralisp-client

I can navigate to the GitHub repository from Source on this page, but is there any way to get it from the API?

I'll add get-project-sources methods which will response with necessary information. You can follow this issues ultralisp/ultralisp#220

Also, follow this issue to track when additional information will be available: ultralisp/ultralisp#221
