To be fair, it's not that bad (I have made a couple of apps based on the webview) - IE11 is a rather decent browser supporting all the niceties from CSS3, flexbox etc. It's not that different from making layouts for web pages, whe

Sorry for an off-topic question, but does anyone know where to park a car not far from the university overnight? It's our first year at FOSDEM, and we would like to avoid driving to the center of the city only to leave the car there. T

A similar project, but for C/C++/Go (using gtk-webkit, cocoa-webkit and mshtml): https://github.com/zserge/webview Does not require a web server (uses JS-to-native bindings instead), which might be a benefit.

I have been working on Glitch for a while. Not forcefully limited to short tweet-size tunes, it makes generative music from simple chiptunes [1] to something more advanced [2]. I would be happy to answer any questions, if you are interested

On Windows 7 SP1 it uses IE11. Same on Windows 10. On some Windows 8 it might use IE10, which is still not that bad. Sorry, can't tell much about xls/doc. It's aimed to be a web UI for your app. Normally, you app would be a w

Since Go and Electron are mentioned, let me offer a web UI library for Go: https://github.com/zserge/webview (I know UI has been a problem for Go apps for a while and is often a stopper when it comes to writing desktop

To me JDK9 and Jigsaw sounds like a viable alternative to Electron. Cross-platform, well-known mature language, distributable standalone app bundle includes the runtime and takes ~15-30 MB zipped or ~80MB unpacked on disk (I tried swing UI,

You should be able to download such APKs from F-Droid or its fancier "frontend" - https://fossdroid.com/a/firefox-klar.html

Unfortunately, this method has been blocked years ago. Well, not blocked completely, but the speed slows down to zero (packet loss grows up to 100%) within a couple of minutes making it practically unusable.

I can give Anvil as an example ( https://github.com/zserge/anvil ). It's a DSL for writing Android view layouts in Java and Kotlin. The DSL looks nicer than linear code of creating views and binding their properties

I know that launchers normally detect when the package was installed/uninstalled. That's how they refresh the list of app icons. And launcher is just a regular app with no special permissions. I think some kind of an intent is bro

Shameless plug: http://0xrgb.com (similar to flatuicolors, which was using Flash by that time), 0xrgb also includes ios, tango, solarized and material color schemes.

I believe that the major pitfall here is that the feedback you've received is mostly about the changes that people want to see. However if we consider the number of people who want Gnome vs the number of those who want Unity 8 vs the n

Memory management? Most Lisp implementations have a GC, while Tcl in its simplest form has no concept of a reference, and thus there is no need for a GC - everything is passes by value. For example, a simple `sl5.c` example below leaks all

I've recently made a similar protothread/coroutine library for embedded systems where local continuations can be either setjmp or goto or case labels. Nothing fancy, but perhaps someone find it useful: https://github.co

Just to mention, if you enjoy Kotlin - you might want to try Anvil+Bansa. It is like React+Redux, but for Kotlin (or Java). Resulting APKs are much smaller than React Native and don't rely on jni code. http://anvil.site&#x2F

Thanks for the feedback! Slide is not something we're selling or trying to make profit of (in any form - no ads, no spying, no analytics, open source). We made a few presentations with it for internal company meetings, but that was mos

Thanks, I understand your point, and I sincerely don't want it to become a thread of infinite disagreement. But text slides can be helpful. I often use just text. I rarely use images (no kittens or meme picures, images are good only if

Slide can be an option for people with different mindset - like some people prefer Markdown for documentation, while others are happy Word or Writer. Also Slide is a mobile app, so it's suitable for last-minute presentation makers, who
