The LiquidSnow is a collection of .NET assemblies that you can use to make your .NET development work easy. It covers mutitudes of bases, from fundamental concepts to those that I just added for fun. While most of the API is generally stable, there may still be breaking changes in the future, so keep this in mind. If you have any issues, don't hesitate to ask for assistance in the issues tab. Also, check the Wiki for documentation on how to use the Framework.
LiquidSnow Assemblies:
WARNING: Aretha has moved to a new Repository. Once I've made it public I will delete the one inside here.
If you want to see some of the cool things you could do with LiquidSnow, clone the repository, build Aretha and run it. It is a .NET Core Console App, therefore you can build it on Linux, Windows and Mac. Once you've run it, you should see: Aretha: Ready to summon. Type summon anubis bitmap inject and follow through the prompts. This should kickstart a process that will allow you to hide a file of your chosing inside an image of your chosing. Be sure to check out the Wiki to see all the things you should be able to do with Aretha.
Core is a collection of exteremly fundamental and useful utilities and extensions that are necessary across of .NET development platforms. For example it provides interfaces to get properties, by name from objects, corrects the failures of System.IO.Path.Combine() by adding a better and perhaps more philosophically correct approach, plus a bunch of other super cool stuffs. I'm certain you shall find one of them useful. See the docs for the documentation.
Extensive library with a main focus on encryption. Currently it handles 2 main categories: classical algorithms, such as playfair and vigenere, and symmetric algorithms, such as AES and Rijndael. On top of that, it provides an IO structure for safely and securely storing files by means of encryption. It does this by providing the CryptoFile(single files) and the CryptoContainer(multiple files) objects. Horus can also simulate the EnigmaMachine, allows you to define your own EnigmaMachine or use one of the predefined ones based on real models.
A super interesting one, one that came about by my need of creating nice UIs that are standardized. Goro is the WPF developers pie, it supports themes(accent colors, darkmode/lightmode), contains custom controls and has several useful utilities, such as those that convert Bitmaps to BitmapImages, and so many more. It provides skinning and styles for several fundamental wpf controls, and provides basic colors to get you started. This can only be used, unfortunately, in a .NET WPF project, it's for designing so duh? Also also, Goro is 'Drawing' in my native language, if you ever wonder where the name came from.
Just like the Roman god Mercury, this assembly is useful for those intending to send messages. It provides a Server-Client infrastructure for sending message over Net Sockets (not WebSockets!). As such, it is exteremely barebones. For a better approach, utilise Thismaker.Aba.Client and Thismaker.Aba.Server to create superior client-server applications.
It provides a crude framework for developing financial management and accounting based applications.
A library dedicated to Steganography(not sure if I spelled that right). It allows you to hide files and data in images and WAV audio files. See docs for the documentation.
After noticing overwhelming similarities among several Server-Client based applications I was creating, I decided to condense the code into a single-shareable library that can be used easily to get such applications running. Aba is exteremly useful, only rivaled by perhaps Core, Horus and Goro. Aba comes in three parts: AbaClient, which is responsible for handling client side states, such as requesting for Access Tokens, making HTTP requests to a WebApi and more, AbaServer, which has utility for generating custom JWT tokens, server-side authentication, and more core server infrstructure. Finally there is AbaCommon, which provides the common ground for the server and the client to work on.
Thoth is a useful assembly that you can use to add localization to your dotnet application. It allows you to easliy add support for multiple languages and maintain these languages. Furthermore, it has been built with MVVM in mind, which means that it will be easy to incorporate it into ViewModels. To highlight some of it's usefulness, it can be set up to update the text when the user changes the language preferences immediately. It can also be used to update the text when another property changes, for example, say you had a field that welcomes the use with something like "Hello, Ian", when the user changes the language to say Swahili, it will update it to, "Jambo, Ian" and in case Ian logs out and instead Monica logs in, it changes to "Jambo, Monica" with the programmer having created the translation states as ENGLISH: "Hello, {0}" and SWAHILI: "Jambo, {0}".
Further, you will find the Thoth Manager too, which is a windows program that you can use to easily manage your localization states. Please look at the tests for an example of how it is used. I also promise to make this readme text more clear in the future,
