Next step: UI components a-la http://witheve.com/ http://witheve.com/
- andai 4y agoThis looks really interesting, why did they stop working on it?
- TuringTest 4y agoExperimental programming languages based on completely novel concepts are difficult to program, and even more difficult to disseminate and monetize.
- foobarbecue 4y agoMaybe because he got absorbed by TigerBeetle.
- evnc 4y agoThey posted on HN about why, some years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16227130 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16227130 tl;dr it was hard to monetize, experimental research not really well fitting the startup model, but at the core of it I think it lacked a compelling, concrete problem to solve. Eve was an amazing tool with a lot of potential, and an unclear story of how a person might actually want to use this tool in their life.
- distortionfield 4y agoIt's a really interesting tool. They should've focused this on the personal knowledge management crowd, I feel like they would eat that shit up for a research focused environment.
- bmacho 4y agoI don't like UI components. I don't want to drag things on screen and put them on each other to something to happen. Can't we have TUI instead, with fixed position menus, sane shortcuts, search bar for actions and options and such? Just the other day I was wondering about how we have the touchscreen ticket vending machines for ~10 years now, and they are still not working when the whether is sunny or rainy. Moving the cursor with physical buttons was a much better construction.
- layer8 4y ago> fixed position menus, sane shortcuts, search bar for actions and options and such? (Some) GUIs used to be like that, merely adding pointing devices as an alternative way to operate, and for inherently graphical tasks. It doesn’t need to be restricted to TUIs.
