## FAQ



* **Is it a original idea?**



> Nowadays, Almost idea is mixing. The original idea was inspired by a guy in HN-Show I've seen in a couple months ago. It's just a tool to generate a photo after dragging manually my original picture. It has lack of capability.

>

> I'm a lazy guy, I'd something could do it automatically every time. Ultimately, I came up with this idea.



* **Where is the Backend side?**



> I'm in charge of developing the [Artify Core](https://github.com/NghiaTranUIT/artify-core), as a Golang backend serverside. > Feel free to contribute cooperatively.



* **What is the current progress?**



> Here is [Open Ticket](https://github.com/NghiaTranUIT/artify-macos/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue) and [Close Ticket](https://github.com/NghiaTranUIT/artify-macos/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclosed)



* **Why do you choose RxSwift + MVVM?**



> I have solid experience when working with RxSwift + MVVM for a couple projects on Production. I'm so happy when writing concise, elegant Observable, Driver,... rather than clumsy functions with tons of nested-callbacks.

>

> If something makes me happy, I will follow it. Simple enough πŸ˜‚



* **Is this app built with Swift?**



> Yes, Artify is built on top of Swift 4.1 and macOS Native library.



* **Why is it an OSS?**



> The source code is a trash if keep it in your inventory forever. I'd contribute back to the dev community when I have an opportunity.

>

> The best way is publishing your source code πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’».



* **Why is 18th century art?**



> Every time I have a short trip to an overseas country, I often spent 1 or 2 days to visit all famous art museum. I could stand for an hour to look at the detail, the scrape from those old oil photo. Individual traits could represent the history, the effort, the dream from original authors.

>

> I realize I fall in love with the 18th art somehow 🀣

>

> Then I come up with the idea, why don't we bring it to everybody, who has the same passion as me.

>

> Let imagine, every day, when I open my laptop at 9 AM, I can see the best photo of this day, with detail information, history, and the author. That would be amazing 😱

>

> Without considering, I start to develop the macOS app as well as the [Artify-Core](https://github.com/NghiaTranUIT/artify-core), which is written by Golang.

>

> All of the art pictures will be hand-picked by me and my best girlfriend. Hope you enjoy it 😍



* **How does Artify generate the beautify wallpaper?**



> **[DR;TL]**

>

> 1. Determine the golden size, which relies on your current screen size. It makes sure every generated wallpaper is as nice as possible.

> 2. Draw this image with the desired size in the middle

> 3. Draw shadow

> 4. Scale the background with "aspect to fill" mode

> 5. Apply Gaussian algorithm

> 6. Combine everything and cached locally.

>

> **[Detail implementation]**

>

> Here is the [algorithm](https://github.com/NghiaTranUIT/artify-macos/blob/master/artify-core/artify-core/Algorithm/Gaussian/GaussianAlgorithm.swift)



* **Where does the Artify's resource come from?**



> Every art pictures are hand-picked from [WikiArt](https://www.wikiart.org).

>

> If you wonder how I collect the data. Here is my partner, [Spider Man](https://github.com/NghiaTranUIT/artify-core/blob/master/scripts/spider.ruby), which is a Ruby script.

>

> The conjunction of [Nokogiri](http://www.nokogiri.org) and [Watir](http://watir.com) are perfect for this scenario. Indeed,I'm a lazy man, I don't want to collect data like a manual labor πŸ˜….



* **What are the tough problems, which you confronts when developing this project?**



> The Implementation of the [Artify Core](https://github.com/NghiaTranUIT/artify-core) by Golang with latest technologies and the Artify Gaussian algorithm are two things take me most the effort.



* **Can I become a contributor?**



> Defintely, I appreciate your effort to become a contributor. Clone the project and setup your workspace. Happy coding guys 🚒



* **Do you have personal blog?**



> Yes, I often write blog at [My lab](https://nghiatran.me/) πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³



* **How do I contact you?**



> Don't hesitate to open Issue on Github if you encounter any problems. Or give a welcome hug to me at [email protected].
