Baking pizza tonight! Pepperoni pizza, yummy!

If anyone of you pulls the code and compiles it - then please let me know :)

The code for the desktop client is now public here: https://github.com/stig-atle/YarnDesktopClient , I will create tickets for the known things I need to fix and such later today.

@prologic@twtxt.net I will give it a shot today, that and to show attached images in the status would be great to have. I just need to figure out the curl for posting image, then the rest would be easy to implement :) I would use that a lot since I often post photos and such.

@prologic@twtxt.net hehe, yeah! That’s the way to get things done - use it daily, fix everything that needs to be fixed :)

@prologic@twtxt.net Great! Thank you!

@prologic@twtxt.net By the way - can I call my application ‘Yarn desktop client’? Is that OK with you? Or do you want it to have another name - but then have ‘a desktop client for yarn’ as information in readme etc?

I will release the sourcecode for the desktop client tonight. I will put it on github (sorry to anyone who prefer other places), but the reason is that I do not want my own git to be open for public. So I’ll put it on github where I have all my other public projects. I have to write the readme, then add some info on the login page (link to source etc), then it’s ready to release with the current features. I then hope others will give it a try and use it if they want :) I also have many other features I need to implement, but all the main features that makes it usable has been implemented, so I’m very pleased with it (And I use it all the time now).

@prologic@twtxt.net That sounds great! I’m looking forward to doing that too here! We also go to the local lakes and such when it gets warm enough! Always nice to spend time in the water :)

Good morning to you all! Started my day by walking about 5km around a lake that’s next to the ocean, a really nice place to walk. It rains today, so not many people out (which I like). So now the dog is sleeping on the sofa. My daughter went to a friend for a visit today, and my son is just chilling and watching youtube. So it’s a nice chill start to this Saturday :) Hope you all have a great day!

Got up before 7 this morning, now it’s 14,5 hours later - and I finally got to sit down for the first time today. Been a busy day, but a good one. Now it’s time to relax a bit (code on the desktop client) and then relax for a bit. Tomorrow the weather is going to suck, but I’ll still go for the usual weekend hikes with the dog, trying to plan a new place to walk tomorrow.

Good morning, wish you all a nice Friday!

@phoronix@feeds.twtxt.net nice! I want to upgrade on my x200 soon.

That reminds me about something, I want to test if I can compile my desktop client on my mangopi riscv board with debian. That would be cool to run on it.

“PineTab2 and PineTab-V tablets available for pre-order for $159 and up with a choice of ARM or RISC-V chips”

@reddit_world_news@feeds.twtxt.net yay!

@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club indeed, that is how I learned about that machine :)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I love ‘exotic’ computers, especially riscv. But one of the most prized computers I have is the Lemote Yeeloong, Loongson mipsel laptop - http://web.archive.org/web/20151220055337/http://www.lemote.com:80/en/products/Notebook/2010/0310/112.html , very cool machine, I cannot part with that one, gonna put in in my coffin when I die. Got a hold of it about 10 years ago, cost a lot, but it was worth it. I run openbsd on it, and have to compile everything on it. took over 2 weeks to compile sylpheed email client on it LOL.

I would love to have one of these..

@adi@twtxt.net Nothing really, I tried it in a VM a long time ago, never got to install it on HW, might give it a try again soon (I enjoy to set up my machines with various OS’es and test them etc).

@adi@twtxt.net Dragonfly BSD - that is one OS I have never run properly before - but I’ve always wanted too. Also not often at all I see that OS being mentioned ‘in the wild’.

@prologic@twtxt.net it’s mostly ready now I feel, got a lot done, so I’ll focus on getting it out there this week, A bit busy the next days, but I’m sure I’ll find time to get it uploaded and hosted on my VPS so that others can use it as well.

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, good point. I will see if I can selfhost it in a good way, I’ll think about it for the next days, I’ll also create a subdomain on my website where I can put some info and git links and what not, nice to have a info page to link back to from the application.

@prologic@twtxt.net thank you 😀

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Thank you! Yeah I fixed that now, short statuses got shifted, but that has been fixed. :)

I added all the timelines, so now you can switch between ‘discover’, ‘timeline’ and mentions from the drop down menu :)

Progress - progress, love it when things fall into place.

If you hit ‘reply’ on a post it fills in the mentions as well in the status entry box.

So now it looks like this:

One thing I need to also fix - is the way a reply is done, I need it to add the mentions as well, so that you can reply to a person more easily, instead of just the thread.

Added refresh of the timeline, currently a button that you press to do so, I will move it to a timed function shortly.. But nice to get something added tonight.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org We use gitlab daily at work. but for my own projects I use gogs. I have some scripts that I used for a gnusocial client that I maintained (before leaving gnusocial). I’ll see if I can adapt that and make deb files for the yarn client - I mostly use debian \ Trisquel my self, so I also like .deb as well.

@prologic@twtxt.net I agree with you points, and I feel the same.
I currently run a gogs instance on my webserver, I’m putting my source there for now.
Currently registrations are disabled and such, I’m the only user, that is the main issue I think - people need to register to submit a change. and I do not want people to register on my own git instance either, so I have to think about it a bit.

Also - I would like to know where you all like to have git hosted..
Github? Some other place? Do you mind self-hosted git servers? (I currently have my own)..
What do you all prefer? Do you mind compiling software from source if instructions are clear and easy? Or do you prefer to download a released binary and run that?

I also later on (as soon as it’s in usable state) want to make flatpack, appimage as well, that is something I have not done before - but I want to set that up as well.

Moving my source to git today, I have just developed on a local copy until today.
I needed to move it before going too crazy with it. Starting the work on the timeline that I’ve mentioned.
Yesterday I ran out of time, but today I have some free time to work on things. Very pleased with the software already, I know I’ll use it all the time. So today I will work on refreshing the timeline, and then fix so that it’s a bit smarter then now, the class that holds the statuses will also contain the GUI elements for each status, that way I can more easily append new statuses into the timeline - instead of grabbing the whole timeline and rebuild all it’s gui each time it refreshes. I know what to do - so I do not expect it to take too long to fix.

@prologic@twtxt.net They mention them at 2.5 admins podcast all the time, seems pretty good. I have not used it though. But all I hear there is positive things.

Need to rework the timeline a bit, I want it to append new statuses after refresh, right now it fetches the whole timeline and just inserts it as a whole. So I’ll work on that alongside the refresh functionality.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Sounds like a really nice day!

We went on a drive today, to another city, spent time at the seaside, eating ice-cream , walked the dog together, spent time on the playgrounds, weather was fantastic too, so was a really nice day today!

Going out for a hike with the dog. Then I’ll code a bit later today.
Want to fix the timeline refresh, and then create one timeline for each timeline, and buttons to switch between them.

So glad I switched to GTK4, so much easier to work with then FLTK.

Time for a new screenshot :)

Reply button seems to work!

First test post from GTK UI!

@chunkimo@twtxt.net thank you! Very pleased with it. I finally have vacation, got up early, took our dog for a long walk this morning, so now I can code a bit. I’ll complete the status entry gui today, so that I can post statuses, after that I need to add a tomer for refreshing timeline, and then some way to store some settings.

@prologic@twtxt.net Refurbished thinkpad from ebay is also a good option.

@chunkimo@twtxt.net Welcome!

Got the gui to scale properly with the window now, was easy to fix… Looks much better already!

The GTK gui client is coming along nicely.
Added avatar support, and reply button.
It’s pretty obvious that the GUI does not scale properly yet, but I’ll worry about that once the last feature is added. Now I’m only missing the ‘post status’ gui, I need to think a bit about how I want that implemented.
Anyways - here’s the latest screenshot..

Im going to fall a sleep standing up tonight it feels like. Holy shit I’m tired today. Just one more day then it’s much needed vacation time.

@funbreaker@twtxt.net No worries, I’m just glad to see that someone likes what I spend my time on.
Always fun to make something that someone else finds useful. I’ll definitely get it into a usable state as soon as possible.
