Jiayi is written in C# and uses HTML for the UI via Blazor Hybrid.
The code is admittedly a mess, hence why there is no code style to adhere to. However, please try to keep the code clean and readable. There will be a code style guide in the future.
Jiayi Launcher is released under the GNU GPL-3.0 license, and you can read it here.
A quick rundown for those who don't want to read all that:
- You can modify, share and sell the code any way you please
- but you have to open source projects that do this under a compatible GPL license
- Any changes should be documented
