Made a fish & yad thing to very painlessly post photos to the blog. And since I just got a camera to compensate for my lack of smart phone, you might be getting a treat of photos. felipetavares.com/post/a-day-of-pho…

It's very fun to create UIs with this thing, when it works.

Simple "To-Do" GUI program.

It has Work/Personal/Misc. tabs.

There are a couple tasks.

We can also see the open program menu with options Tasks/Cloud/Help.

In the background we see the Inkscape sketch that generated the UI.

Boxpiler, hotreloaded GTK edition! Crooked boxes, coming soon to take your native apps. The idea is to have something for very fast prototyping, my goal is to eventually take as much time to generate an actual GUI (minus logic) as it would to sketch it out in a piece of paper.

My compiler of boxes, or boxpiler, continues to progress and be extremely cursed but also kinda cool

And this is what the GUI looks like for 1.5! I even put an icon there!

A screenshot of a browser running the local GUI for Viq.

A plot showing the delay time for each frame in the simulated video can be seen.

Also, the number of frames (100), the average frame delay (144us), and the average throughput (3.47Mbps).

Using sway like it's the BeOS/Haiku window manager by having floating containers that are mushed together random apps.

Done with the popups for now, I quite like the design, somewhat unique too and very mathy which I dig

My HTML page thing to add a GUI to my Viq live video networking analysis thing after I decided I didn't want to deal with all the dependency, size, and cross compilation issues of adding a real GUI. It's a single page HTML that renders WebSocket […] [Original post on social.treehouse.systems]

Web page with title "viq receiver", showing a plot of video frame delay times, all within the range of ~1ms.

At the bottom there are 3 big numbers: "900 frames", "159.8Mbps" and "30.20us", with the last one being the average frame time.

Just merged some basic symbolic capabilities into tinycalc. Seen below computing a time in hours by doing some substitutions with the units "mAh" and "mA", and dividing a time in hours by the unit "days." I think next we get into the wonderful […] [Original post on social.treehouse.systems]

tinycalc calculator.

Small calculator with a grid of buttons and a display.
In the display we can see Lisp expressions.

Some of the expressions have the form "(= dur (/ 5200mah 5ma))" and "(/ dur day)day".

At the bottom we can see the calculator has evaluated these expressions as having values: "1040h" and "43.33day".

I am a genius and my code is amazing! I implemented some basic symbolic computation and display sugar to collapse "(* n sym)" into "nsym", and magically editing also automatically expands collapsed expressions when you press "enter" on them, which is exactly what I wanted but it just works.

Added custom symbols for exponentiation and square root.

git.sr.ht/~felipetavares/tinycalc Made some updates to the tinycalc repository README so people aren't completely lost.

This has everything you need to print out a calculator, and to modify it

- tinycalc
- Faceplate
- Shell
- Keyboard Flextures
- Keycap
- Large Keycap
- Side Keycap
- Wheel
- mainboard 1

This basically saves me from having screws at the bottom end, which would mess a bit with the functionality of the design by not having the keyboard go all the way down to the bottom.

At some point I was playing with making a treehouse.systems thingie, but I need energy to finish it aaaaaa

Pixelart. A planet covered in foliage, with rivers of blue water flowing through. A large tree of astronomical proportions grows from it. In the tree, there's a treehouse that is a cross between ISS and a cozy wooden house.

And here it is, a Vala app. Truly one of the best user experiences with making graphical things.

Vala app that says "You are fucked" and has a button "Well, fuck me!"

Long time no tinycalc prototype pic, so here we go. Featuring: - Lisp! - Defining functions. - Handy scrollable menu of functions and variables. - Prototyping physical units.

Diffuse surfaces! And I think with this one we have achieved the full "raytraced" look I was shooting for (minus whatever weird thing is going on with the back wall).

Room with a ball in the center, and two light sources, yellow and blue, one on each side. There are no reflective surfaces, instead, the image has a granular look characteristic of raytracers.

Okay this is further than I have ever been! Raytracer! Fully reflective surfaces only so far

Wake up loser, we have arrived at shaderland (define (render-pixel p) (rgb 1 0 0))

Red square. This is running in Guile talking directly to the Wayland compositor with my own tiny sucky library that only depends on a few libc fns.

{shifted = {screen-pixel + {dims / 2}}}
{{shifted / dims} * 2})

Grey rectangle! How amazing! Now, how much can I code golf this guy?

It's a Wayland window created using Guile Lisp (and some external functions from libc).
