🚧 **LibTracker Development Update**


We've been making solid progress on **LibTracker**, our lightweight SBOM tool designed to simplify dependency management. Recent updates include:


🔹 **Current Progress**

- Completed CRUD functionality for projects and apps

- Enabled opening apps directly in the terminal or VS Code

- Added support for Flutter on Android, iOS, and macOS


🔍 **Learned So Far**

- WebView panels don't support `alert`, `confirm`, or `modals`

- Panel development resembles a client-server model, where the WebView panel acts as the client, and extension API lives on the "server"

- Vanilla JS has proven useful for TDD

- Leveraged npm libraries to parse Gradle files for Android support


🎯 **Next Steps**

- Obtain framework and programming language metadata for all apps listed in the popular section

- Develop an app dependency page to:

  - View licenses

  - Display security vulnerabilities

  - Enable CRUD on dependencies

  - (Possibly) Identify unused packages—challenging but potentially achievable with executables


Let us know your thoughts and any insights
