I have been putting a load of my time into polishing the Fyne based desktop – and it is becoming a very productive system that I use day to day. I have presented the topic at a few events recently (including GopherCon and GopherCon UK) and it’s getting a very good reception! In my latest project you can see the lovely branded USB stick being … Continue reading Running the FyshOS desktop on Surface Pro
The next release of Fyne will make it possible for developers to add 3D effects – see how! Continue reading Adding 3D special effects
It’s been years since I first tried, but now I am back on Patreon with weekly videos shared for all my followers. Newsletters and tutorials all lined up to help you learn what is possible with Fyne, FyshOS and Apptrix.ai. Like that logo? Me too 🙂 my current video shows how it was built and how easily I made it into a screensaver for my … Continue reading New videos now on Patreon!
Happy New Year if it’s not too late. I like to keep celebrating the fresh opportunities of a year changing until we hit February. In each of my interactions this month I have been discussing the fact that 2025 looks like it will be better than the 2 years before. With economic improvements, further distance from lock-downs and being a year further down the preparation … Continue reading An Honoured Start to 2025
It’s the holiday season which means, apart from family and abundant eating and drinking, it’s time to sit down and get some coding projects done. I don’t know if others find this too, but I love the opportunity to step away from work and progress projects that have gone dreamed of but otherwise not progressed. So here are a few tasty morsels that I am … Continue reading Holiday Coding
Last week I had a really fun evening because the great team at ChangeLog put together a Go Time podcast episode about cross-platform graphical user interfaces. Lea Anthony and myself were invited to talk about the Wails and Fyne toolkits for GUI app building. Thanks also to Mat Ryer and Natalie Pistunovich for being welcoming and engaging hosts of the recording. Hopefully this offers a … Continue reading Gooey Podcast 🙂
Not long ago I started listening to the excellent “Go Time” podcast from the ChangeLog network. I highly recommend it for a relaxed approach to lots of interesting topics around the Go language and it’s common uses. And so I was thrilled when they reached out to ask me to join them for a discussion about GUIs and other unusual uses for Go. One recording … Continue reading Unusual Uses for Go
Today I posted a reflection on 2019 for the Fyne project – it’s been a very busy year indeed. We are celebrating 9 releases (3 major), 37 contributors, 7300 stargazers on GitHub and a conference live streamed on YouTube – to read more head to the Fyne blog. It clearly would not be possible without the fantastic contributions of the community – developers, designers, testers … Continue reading Looking toward a Fyne 2020
Have you heard about the new GitHub Sponsors programme? The great people at GitHub have built a platform to help get open source developers paid for the great work they do. Yup, it’s a great idea – one that I had considered exploring before but clearly they have the resources and expertise to do it better – and thankfully they have done. The really exciting … Continue reading Accepted to GitHub Sponsors
Recently one of the great developers that contribute to Fyne (thanks steveoc64!) pointed out a cool BASIC interpreter on GitHub. It looked like a fantastic opportunity for a weekend project and a chance for a bit of retro indulgence. Whilst the interpreter was pretty full featured it didn’t allow me to play around through a user interface – so I wanted to see how difficult it would … Continue reading Retro weekend BASIC style
