Tried out FLTK for #rust #gui development. The API seems decent enough but it seems like it doesn't use the OS's theme which makes me question whether it's actually using "native" UI elements.

Also anyone wanna buy me a mac and windows box for testing cross platform stuff? 🤪

Thinking of adding a new web API to add the ability to add to native context menus. 🤔 It'd be nice if it could be made declarative, too. Like "Attach a context menu to this UI" and give it events for show/hide.

Similar to how the web currently has a native "modal" component with some functionality. I think this was tried before? I'm sad it didn't end up sticking.

What's cool is you can polyfill it with a browser extension since that's an ability they have.

Oh! And I could package this as a web extension with a new content type for the markup.

That way existing browsers can be "upgraded" to be able to render these apps, as well as native apps being able to run it directly.

Might be a good excuse to do some #rust?

Playing Hypnospace Outlaw. I absolutely love the retro (win 95 era) aesthetic.

Honestly I wish more of the web had the janky neocities feel.

Maybe with 3d objects and layout built in?

I'm thinking html style markup, but fewer tag types and more app ui related tags. Close to how Android's ui editing works?

Now I kinda want to reinvent web pages with a reduced set of functions to make it easier to use native elements across platforms and focus on user theming.

Maybe wasm blobs with a minimal DOM API?

Honestly I'm noy making much progress but I uust played another 9 hours in a row. 🤪 I think I'm about to run into fokd acquisition issues with the next wave of dwarves that move in. otoh, my next fortress will be a lot more efficient

Tee hee, I just lost two hours of gameplay because it crashed. 🤪

Dang I need to get a mod that makes it constantly flash different colors and replace the calm music with breakcore.

So far I'm actually getting into laying out my mine.

Just bought the steam version of dwarf fortress.

Gonna give it a shot! Hopefully the tutorials are easy enough to follow.

Emoticons are the original tone indicators. XP

I like my fedi timeline right now because similarly to my twitter feed I end up getting just the tip of "the discourse" so I can kinda know what's going on without getting overwhelmed by it

LMAO already vibrating in place because I thought of some stuff I need to do.

Gonna be the biggest test of self control after not ignoring alarms when I'm feeling sleepy.

Alright. Time for my first vacation off work (for two weeks) since I started working full time. 🤪

No extra obligations, just relaxing and not focusing on productivity or commitments.
