I haven't created large amounts of C/C++, so I'm certainly not an expert, but I was impressed by how well the source was commented and structured. Nice to see well documented, well thought out code, congrats

The source is a pretty interesting read too.

Wow, thank you for the feedback. I take a lot of pride in making the code readable. Maintaining a large C project by oneself for notorably fickle devices has been challenging, so you need to get all the of help you can.

I have written large amounts of C/C++ and I too am impressed by how well documented the code is (trust me, most C++ code isn't!)

Thank you! I actually have become more anal about code quality as I've gone along, to the point of annoying people. IonDB represents a much better coding standard, in my mind than LittleD. Like I say, every bit of documentation and cleanliness helps!
