Weaver

Welcome to Weaver. In this application you can create, adapt and visualise weaving drafts. The drafts are made by a point and click interface but also include the possibility to replace a color in a bulk action. Drafts can be saved for continued work at a later time and for logged in users all created drafts can be seen and edited directly from the profile page. Out of the box this application supports drafts on between 2 and 24 treadles and shafts.

Functionality

The application pages for draft creation, draft library and calculations are available to all users and are nearly identical regardless of authentication status of the user. Save and load functionality in the draft page is mediated by local JSON files to unauthenticated users while authenticated users can store and retrieve their drafts from the connected database.

The profile pages are only available to signed in users and contain pages for visualising, adding and editing resources owned by the user (drafts, looms and reeds).
