# The Awesome System Swift Index



The Swift open source community is growing, but the cross-platform codebase is not huge yet. Help expand it by making something and adding it to the index :)



Our objective is to feature cross-platform libraries, designed for wherever Swift runs ;)



## How do I...



* **add to the Index?** Issue a Pull Request!



* **know if a project can be added?** You can add all projects you like as long as the following conditions are met:

  - Project is actively maintained

  - Linux support is stable or at least planned.

  - If it's a library, it has tests

    

    Why are tests required for libraries?



    * Unlike apps, libraries **can't be run** to check if they work as intended. They have to be used in a program or checked by a test suite.

    * In general, testing will be **more exhaustive** than usage.

    * Testing can also be **automated** using continuous integration.

    * Tests can be set up to **run on different** platforms. This helps in keeping **compatibility**.

    



* **help?** Give us feedback about what you'd like to see here. Currently we're making a List, but it could be a table as well with important characteristics like (a) State of development and (b) Systems supported, on the columns of the grid.
