Ask HN: Should I consider this as library or framework?
I made a small "I called" as library to output 2D primitives graphics to window easily using C++. here is the project: https://github.com/krehwell/Memake
what is it categorized appropriately? is it considered as a library since I provide utilities to draw primitives output to graphical window?
or
is it considered as framework since I define on how they would enabling the drawing
