self contained web based editor for norns

maiden consists of two parts - a backend http server and a frontend single page web app.

development can either be done directly on the device or on a linux/macos machine by installing the toolchain.

• install go

known compatible versions:

on macos (for development) this is easily done with brew:

brew install go

maiden uses the go module system to manage dependencies. in order for the go module system work the maiden source tree must not be in a directory below $GOPATH/src, if you've previously cloned/build maiden you'll likely need to move the source tree outside of your existing go workspace before the build will work.

to build, cd into the source directory and run:

go build

if developing on a linux or macos it is trivial to cross compile for arm

GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm go build -o maiden.arm

tip: install FUSE on your linux/macos machine and then mount the device filesystem using sshfs - the build results can then be written directly to the device.

...one also needs to build the ui as well.
