Should we have the SeedSigner app repo adopt a linter/formatter? Maybe something like https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff

I go back and forth on this, but have more tended against auto re-formatters.

For example, there are just some lines where I prefer the clarity of keeping the whole line intact, even if it violates some max width formatter preference.

Though if the config is robust enough, a formatter could probably be customized for a lighter, more permissive touch where desired.

I agree. In my coding career I mostly work on solo projects or projects with single digit number of contributors willing to conform when needed.

I like the theoretical benefits of a linter/formatter, but they also seem like a hassle. Another step before merging a PR.
