July 19 - August 1, 2020 in Darker: Refining features and addressing performance concerns

[akaihola]

This period saw Darker moving towards stability and addressing user feedback. The project team focused on refining existing features and discussing potential performance improvements. A key issue was raised regarding the python -m darker command (#31), which was initially reported as not working. However, community testing confirmed that the command functions correctly, and the issue was promptly closed.

The ongoing discussion about implementing a darkerd daemon (#23) continued, with the project maintainer proposing to change the issue title to better reflect the goal of exposing Darker's functionality as an HTTP API. This potential feature aims to improve IDE integration and reduce formatting time, addressing concerns raised by some users about slower performance in their editors. The team is considering profiling Darker to identify and address any bottlenecks before implementing a daemon solution.

As Darker solidifies its feature set post-1.0 release, the focus is shifting towards optimizing performance and enhancing user experience. The community remains active in testing and providing feedback, helping to ensure Darker's reliability across different environments and use cases.
