Best Practice 'Add On Library' >>Create additional 'Extension Library' for Spectre.Console?

[jeffward01]

Hello all!

I was wondering what is the best practice, or methods to create a Spectre.Console 'add-on' library.

Concept

My idea is I would like to create a library called:

Spectre.Console.FigletFonts

Essentially the library will be a wrapper around FigletFonts and allow users to easily add new Figlet fonts. In the same way that Emojis, or Spinners can be 'referenced', these Figlets Fonts will be referenced in the same manner.

Question

Can I just create my own repo, and push it myself to nuget and Github? or is there a preferred method of doing this?

Thanks!

Note: this can also be added to the 'Idea' topic category

@jeffward01 there is no best practice currently.

Can I just create my own repo, and push it myself to nuget and Github?

Yes.

... or is there a preferred method of doing this?

No.

The Spectre.Console name should be reserved for official packages, so we have been recommending something like "Unofficial.Spectre.Console" for the name. But truth be told, I'm not sure anyone has gone down this route yet.

As far as I can se, there's some unofficial packages in the Spectre.Console.Extensions space, and one particular nucklehead has published two registrar implementations under Spectre.Console.Registrars.
