Revive qemacs
a project by dmacvicar
Updated over 3 years ago. 1 hackers ♥️.

qemacs is a nice emacs style editor by Fabrice Bellard (qemu's original author).

qemacs is small enough so that it can be compiled as a 100kb executable, but also has a simple codebase that could be the base for experimentation.

This project is mostly a testbed to learn using an existing codebase.

Some goals would be:

  • make a modern screen driver using eg. Qt in order to have a UI optimized for long coding sessions.
  • Integrate an scripting language, like lua, for configuration and extensibility

    Create an Android app for Syncthing as part of the Syncthing Tray project by mkittler

    Description

    There's already an app but code/features already in Syncthing Tray could be reused to create a nicer app with additional features like managing ignore patterns more easily. The additional UI code for the app could then in turn be re-used by other parts of Syncthing Tray, e.g. to implement further steps in the wizard as requested by some users. This way one "UI wrapper codebase" could serve GNU/Linux, Windows and Android (and in theory MacOS) at the same time which is kind of neat.

    Goals

    • DONE: Learn more about development for Android and development of UIs with Qt Quick
    • DONE: Create an experimental app reusing as much existing Syncthing Tray code as possible
    • DONE: Build Syncthing as a library also for Android and use it in the app (already done but needs further testing and integration with the rest of the app configuration)
    • DONE: Update the Syncthing Tray website, documentation
    • DONE: Extend the app so it has at least a start page and an import
    • Update forum thread
    • DONE: Upload an experimental build on GitHub
    • Extend the Syncthing API to download single files on demand (instead of having to sync the whole directory or use ignore patterns)
    • Bring back parts of the newly developed mobile UI back to Syncthing Tray on the desktop to fully benefit from the cross-platform development
      • Add UI to add/edit folders and devices in desktop tray app
      • Add UI to show out-of-sync items in desktop tray app
      • Create an alternative "AppWindow" tailored for desktop platforms reusing UI components developed for the mobile app
