These pages are for working on Tilde itself: build it, run its tests, send a change, make a release, write a page of this site. Tilde is a framework in layers. Tilde.Abstraction holds the contracts and the models, Tilde.Core the configuration, the accounts, the event bus and the plugin loading, and the Lua scripts, the cache, OpenPGP, the rules and each protocol are plugins on top of them. Tilde.Ui, Tilde.Ui.ViewModels and Tilde.Ui.Tui make tt, Tilde.Cli makes tcli, and Tilde.Host starts the plugins for both. The rules for the code are in CODE_CONVENTION.md.
