Vulkan Widget for GTK
an invention by yudaike
Updated about 2 years ago. 2 hacker ♥️. 1 follower.

Project Description

Sometimes when developing a GTK program, we want some nice 3D rendered content in it. And to do that, usually we want to use some Graphics API.

For OpenGL, we can easily solve that with GtkGLArea. But GL is not the only API exists; there's also a fancy new API called Vulkan (and even GTK itself have a backend for it), yet at the moment there is no such thing as GtkVulkanArea.

We need to fix that.

Goal for this Hackweek

Implement a widget serve roughly the same purpose of GtkGLArea, but for Vulkan. It doesn't need to be feature complete or production ready, we just want a quick and dirty PoC as a foundation for future implementations.

    GTK/Libadwaita music player for Subsonic servers by epaolantonio

    Description

    I did switch recently to Navidrome to stream my music library. However, there is no desktop client that I like. I would like to use this Hack Week to build one myself.

    Navidrome uses the Subsonic API, which is also implemented by other music servers.

    This project aims to create a music player compatible with any Subsonic-like server.

    Goals

    • Basic navigation
    • Offline support
    • Lyrics support
    • Never-ending playlist support (automatically queue similar songs when a playlist ends)
    • Responsive UI using libadwaita widgtes

    Port OTPClient to GTK >= 4.18 by pstivanin

    Project Description

    OTPClient is currently using GTK3 and cannot easily be ported to GTK4. Since GTK4 came out, there have been quite some big changes. Also, there are now some new deprecation that will take effect with GTK5 (and are active starting from 4.10 as warnings), so I need to think ahead and port OTPClient without using any of those deprecated features.

    Goal for this Hackweek

    • fix the last 3 opened issues (https://github.com/paolostivanin/OTPClient/issues/402, https://github.com/paolostivanin/OTPClient/issues/404, https://github.com/paolostivanin/OTPClient/issues/406) and release a new version
    • continue the rewrite from where we left last year
    • if possible, finally close this 6 years old issue: https://github.com/paolostivanin/OTPClient/issues/123

    Smart lighting with Pico 2 by jmodak

    Description

    I am trying to create a smart-lighting project with a Raspberry Pi Pico that reacts to a movie's visuals and audio that involves combining two distinct functions: ambient screen lighting(visual response) and sound-reactive lighting(audio response)

    Goals

    • Visuals: Capturing the screen's colour requires an external device to analyse screen content and send colour data to the MCU via serial communication.
    • Audio: A sound sensor module connected directly to the Pico that can detect sound volume.
    • Pico 2W: The MCU receives data fro, both inputs and controls an LED strip.

    Resources

    • Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W
    • RGB LED strip
    • Sound detecting sensor
    • Power supply
    • breadboard and wires

    pudc - A PID 1 process that barks to the internet by mssola

    Description

    As a fun exercise in order to dig deeper into the Linux kernel, its interfaces, the RISC-V architecture, and all the dragons in between; I'm building a blog site cooked like this:

    • The backend is written in a mixture of C and RISC-V assembly.
    • The backend is actually PID1 (for real, not within a container).
    • We poll and parse incoming HTTP requests ourselves.
    • The frontend is a mere HTML page with htmx.

    The project is meant to be Linux-specific, so I'm going to use io_uring, pidfs, namespaces, and Linux-specific features in order to drive all of this.

    I'm open for suggestions and so on, but this is meant to be a solo project, as this is more of a learning exercise for me than anything else.

    Goals

    • Have a better understanding of different Linux features from user space down to the kernel internals.
    • Most importantly: have fun.
