Huge thanks to nvd for the original idea! Dix is heavily inspired by this and basically just a "Rewrite it in Rust" version of nvd, with a few things like version diffing done better.
Furthermore, many thanks to the amazing people who made this projects possible by contributing code and offering advice:
- @RGBCube - Giving the codebase a deep scrub.
- @Dragyx - Cool SQL queries. Much of dix's speed is thanks to him.
- @NotAShelf - Implementing proper error handling.
