Size of git repo and Examples

[Yaraslaut]

Hi, thanks for the amazing work
I wanted to bring up a couple of things:

• I noticed the repository size is currently 300M with 140M in .git, so if you are not planning to squash all commits and lose git history it might become an issue.
• Also, i wanted to play around with the package a bit, and found out that examples aren't working. Do you have a rough estimate of when the API might become more stable so I can dive in ?

You're right I'll condense git at some point. Current focus is on our python api gdsfactory plugin for photonics. If you're doing RF, I'll need couple wks to revamp the Julia API

Alright, good to know :)
If you already have an idea about Julia API that you want to have, let me know, I can make a PR to bring it faster

Cool - what kinds of simulations are you running - what kinds of sources?

I am mainly interested in julia fdtd implementation to include custom material equations

[paulxshen]

as in nonlinear materials?

[Yaraslaut]

yes

in update.jl you can edit:

    dEdt = (∇ × H - σ * E - J) / ϵ
...
    dHdt = -(∇ × E + σm * H) / μ

I hacked up julia operators to do this :)
