I've been working on a idea for a 3DS Homebrew app and I have made a C# project that could be easily ported to the 3DS, the only problem is I do not know C++
It's a pretty simple app, but yeah if anyone wants to help please DM me. I’ll send my code to you.
The syntax between the 2 languages is very similar that you could easily port a lot of code from one to another almost unchanged, it's the libraries included that become the tricky part perhaps.

UI could be too? I did a quick search and couldn't find much in the way of UI libraries that are up to date or complete? Like I said, it was a quick glance and most said they're work in progress with no commits since the 3DS heyday so-to-speak.
I currently have @bonkmaykr on the project right now. they are going to see what they can do, if anyone wants to help, just say so and I'll add you to the DM

True, I'm thinking libcurl (portlibs) version for networking, zlib (portlibs) for extracing zips at the start of the program since most files are in zip, but my C# version has support for RAR and 7Z which gamebanana still supports and some people use so I need to support those formats. Dear ImGui for GUI/UI/UX since it's easy and is used in FTPd which is already on 3ds. then libjson-c for json support when we fetch all the mods data from gamebanana's servers at startup. libpng for decoding png thumbnails from gamebanana then libjpeg-turbo for saving them as jpeg (IDK if it supports cropping like my program does, if not that's fine. that's all the libraries it should need.
my program is already 3DS optimized in how it does not keep lots of things in RAM and saves stuff to the SD card for it to stream into it's memory when needed.
I've seen that but it does not look to be useful, I want my homebrew to be easy to update and maintain for years to come, and relying on a project like that which I doubt will love long enough for basic features to be supported. and also C# takes up lots of memory resources so I do not want to use that.
