I like it. Thanks for sharing
Needs a web version you could set as a homepage .
I’m trying to delve into building an app myself, but I’m struggling to get started. It’s waaaay more complicated than I thought.
What are you trying to build? What language?
It’s an onscreen keyboard for plasma on Wayland. C++ and whatever qt framework KDE uses to build their stuff (and I just realized that I didn’t use qml for styling). I need it for my first language since no onscreen keyboard works for me and I don’t have a keyboard with that language. Maliit does work, but it never switches to any other language.
Very wholesome of you to make and share this, thank you!
This reminds me of that fortune Cinnamon desklet
…I should use that again.
What’s the point
I know I shouldn’t feed the trolls, but it’s right in the blurb.
… I decided to create Fortunate, a modern graphical interface that delivers inspiring quotes throughout your day, while giving me an opportunity to explore GUI development with Fyne.
I’m not trolling. I read it but the example quote seems generic. Honestly wondering what this provides
Yeah I intentionally did something a bit more basic for the example. There are over 450 custom fortunes included, about half are actual quotes from famous people in history.
Not to mention the thousands of existing quotes from classic fortune packs.
A lot of people have trouble getting motivated.
Your comment made me chuckle a little bit.
I ask myself that same question every day. What’s the point of anything? Do I really need to get out of bed, get to work, eat food, climb out of the debt trap I’m in or even browse Lemmy?
Something like this could help ease that daily question from myself. If it doesn’t work, it’s fine. Worth a shot. Free is cheaper than recreational drugs.
If it truly helps you that awesome! Your comment gave me a chuckle too, thanks for writing
Not everything needs to have a “point”. Sometimes just making things for fun can be enough of a point in itself.

Thanks, I’m happy now
