I’ve always liked #GUI, both #desktop-based and browser-based before you needed five years of training on the latter. That’s the reason I loved, and still love #Vaadin: you can develop web UIs without writing a single line of HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. I’m still interested in the subject.
Been doing a lot of looking around different (graphic) user interface projects over the past year and I'm starting to build a better understanding of first things I think about or look for, mostly from a technical standpoint...
This 1-day workshop at #OxidizeConf begins with an introduction to @slint, a Rust-based declarative #GUI toolkit. By the end of the workshop, you will have built a fully functioning cross-platform application in Rust. #RustLang
Dive into a live coding session & develop a simple application using @slint
Learn how Slint enables the creation of applications that can run seamlessly across various platforms with minimal adjustments, showcasing the framework’s versatility and efficiency. #RustLang#GUI#Slint
David Vincze delve into the similarities, advantages, enhancements, challenges, and intricacies of adopting Slint as an alternative to Qt QML. Is the transition to Slint a worthwhile endeavour?
David will discuss this question, exploring the feasibility, benefits, and potential pitfalls of integrating Rust and Slint in the #GUI development landscape. #Rustlang#QtDev@slint
📽️ A couple of months ago, travis.media surprised us with an awesome video titled "you need to build a RUST desktop app!!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aFgeUG9TK4 🦀 Since then, we've noticed a surge in GitHub projects using Slint to create small tax calculators! 💼Coincidence? 🤔 #rustlang#gui#Slint
Going back to Konversation for GUI stuffs. DCC file send/receive is kinda important to me. For everything else, including a lot of Matrix usage, WeeChat is still the Kewlist :p
Honorable mention goes to Halloy, which I think looks really good, supports tiling, and says it supports DCC Send - I don't mind manipulating config files by hand, and I might check it out with a FlatPak, but if I'm sufficiently impressed it looks like I'll have to build the .deb and SlackBuild myself, ... Well? Somebody's got to! Right?
Considering to change my #backup solution from #duplicity to #restic (Not sure yet, I like having #pgp keys for encryption, but it's not like a long password stored in #PasswordStore wouldn't cut it). Since restic supports Windows I might try moving a couple relatives onto it; Makes helping them easier if I know the software. For them however, a #GUI is likely a MUST, but what I've found so far is not too encouraging: restatic (dead), npbackup ("metrics" and other assorted niggles), resticguigx (Electron), backrest (browser-based, which makes my skin crawl for security tooling)... Does anyone know other options I missed? Or has some compelling arguments for those I mentioned?
The documentation of the desktop environments of early Xerox office workstations such as the Star describe a kind of modal GUI element, the "property sheet". This is what later came to be more widely known as a "dialog box" or just "dialog".
Dzisiaj artykuł wyjątkowy, bo... nienapisany przeze mnie. Powitajcie Ewelinę, która mam nadzieję, że co jakiś napisze coś o byciu PO oraz swojej pasji, czyli UX. Na pierwszy ogień bierze temat Design Systemu. Zapraszam.
What is your favourite #GUI#Podcast client on #GNU#Linux ? (Asking so I can have a look at some and have better recommendations for friends without #Android).
Back in 1991, the sysops of the "STaTus BBS" in New Zealand created a #GUI for their board.
The system was powered by "Instant Graphics and Sound," a plain-text vector graphics scripting language for the Atari ST similar to RIPscrip, but predating it by several years.
Here's a video showing an IGS demo they made to give an idea of their impressive "GEM Desktop" #BBS interface:
When you discover an interesting tool, and it turns out there's no executable GUI, but to get it running you need to pip a git, hub a stub, sudo a judo, brew a stew, python a cobra and unix a linux… 🤡
After #GUI, I've now pushed implementation of a #TUI output in #Libervia#CLI frontend, which shows A/V call video streams directly into your terminal! It's using #Kitty or #iTerm2 image protocols, or #Unicode half-blocks (thanks to #termimage)
I'm not aware of any other CLI tools doing something similar (#XMPP or not). It's not as useful as GUI, but it's quite fun :)
1984, January 24th., Steve Jobs presented the first Macintosh Computer. We are glad to share our MAC POP Art, in tribute, in this Fediverse, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of that milestone with You, today.
