How is shilling another project without any remarks or discussion a useful thing to add? As other comments have noted "at least a few words how it's different ... would be nice."

  This is why I like HN. You open a discussion, you see other related projects that may be of your interest. Isn't it neat?

    Sure, but at least a few words how it's different from a dozen of other similar projects would be nice.

      exactly my point -- replying to a post with a link to another project with no reason why you're doing it just seems to want to detract from the original post

      But the submitted link doesn't have that either.

    I do not think that turning HN into a bunch of listicles is neat. Maybe you and I disagree about what is or is not neat. That's okay.

  It has some usefulness to people like me. Not that long ago I went through all gdb GUIs I could find to test them , but I found none I liked. Back then I missed the one that is mentioned by the top poster as well as the one linked above. In general people who click on "a GUI frontend for gdb" might be interested in another front end. However, I have no knowledge, nor I endorse any of them. For what I know they both might be pretty bad, but it is nice to see people are trying to improve gdb's usability. Having not found a good frontend GUI I eventually learned how to use gdb on its own, with its tui (a kind of console based multi-window "gui") as well as I've used emacs's gdb-mode a lot. Both are huge time savers and they are both really fast. To be fair the only thing that I can't do with them is to explore variables/memory via mouse point and click(one has to use the keyboard a lot) and I find at least for me my mind-mouse-point-and-click connection is a lot more seamless than mind-keyboard-command-type.

    Have you tried using cgdb? I used it to debug an embedded project last as I hated the debugger in VS Code (and VS code itself). It works great with terminus if you want to look at logs while debugging ..
    - Roark66 4y ago
      I haven't. Thanks for mentioning it. However, after briefly looking at its website I can't see what functionality other than source code search it has that tui lacks (tui is built into gdb - unless compiled without)? Tui looks very similar to the screenshot shown on cgdb's webpage. I too use gdb mostly with embedded devices (over swd with openocd). I like to have at least 3 windows with source code, disassembly and memory/variables/watches.

        I didn't know about Tui. Thank you to for mentioning it. I have used cgdb since forever.

  I would have loved to add more details about the project I linked, but I unfortunately haven't used it a lot. I figured it would be better to just link it in case it's useful to someone, than not link it at all because I don't have a complete description. I don't quite understand your use of "shilling", I have no affiliation to this project.
