Current progress towards a Fluent Smart Style for Spades (yes, I'm making all of those again).

(Re-)learning how incredibly difficult and complex it is to pull this off. There's a lot I need to re-create in the smart-styled widgets, and between Material […]

A chat window that, for the most part, looks like something that would appear in Windows 11. Oddities include: the chat bubbles are outlined instead of filled, and very round. The avatars in the header bar have a tight fit. The caption buttons are taller than normal (and there's a DEBUG banner obscuring the "close" button). The avatars match Adwaita style, not Fluent's flat style for default avatars. Icons, sizes, and paddings may not be fluent.

Found the time today to get the server selector mostly made. Now I have to actually hook it back up to the form.

I'd really like providers.xmpp.org to be able to give me the name of who runs the server (i.e. "Monocles LLC" or "Daniel Gultsch" or what have you) […]

A small window titled "Select a provider". The title bar also includes a back arrow to the left, and the window controls to the right of the title (the X button to close the window is obscured by the "debug" banner). The window then has a "Find a server by name" text-box, which here has the letter "a" in it. Five readable items are shown, with the top cropped off and a sixth box showing. Each item has a placeholder icon on the left, then the server domain and what type of administrator the server has (such as non-governmental organization, company, citizen, or unknown party) in the middle, and a blue button on the right to select the server to register with. The placeholder icons differ for each entry. There are five possible colors, which is picked based on the domain. The first two letters of each domain are shown on top, and behind them is a faint icon representing the type of administrator.

Here's where #jj starts getting quite powerful: this is a "merge commit" with its own contents (the Working Copy), merging from three other commits: the first Parent Commit is the tip of the xmpp-sdk branch¹; the second Parent Commit overrides dependencies just […]

Here's a new video with a bigger profile picture and all 6 modes except unavailable. I think it includes every single state transition, a couple times over... and you get a much better idea of what my idea for "available" looks like!

The shape for Available was […]

SO PROUD OF MY LIL ANIMATIONS ​:blobcatlaugh:​

The big one I'm missing right now is "available" (blue), because Gajim doesn't have it. So I have to wait to add it once I've put it in my client itself lmao

The video demonstrates the lil animations and the […]

Spades now has presence dots. You can currently tell the difference between "chat" (blue), "online" (green), "away" (orange), "xa/dnd" (red), and "unavailable/none" (no circle or cutout). I intend to make them have different shapes, again much like Discord does […]

_Command support is now done!!!!_
actually I should probably still test it against more commands...

Here's the merge commit: codeberg.org/spades/spades-flutter/commit/82eb0ae0f64e26ce482de10463e6a505c9046394

also #alt4me I have to run, and I'm not really sure […]

Starting to work on the last part of the command palette, which I left off before: categorizing commands (groups per JID and one for internal commands). Of course this commands list only considers Spades internal commands and that of your conversation partner […]

Six new commits today. Not bad. There's now more information on what the value for certain commands is expected to be, and error messaging is less likely to break (not pictured, but it's very similar to the last one).

I'll have to look up the version I did […]

The screenshot is of vscode but here's the output directly from git (same information): d801a9f (HEAD -> feat/commands) feat(cmd): parameter descriptions f96da45 fix: occasional errors about "StateNotifier" fd91548 feat: list args in command palette details 4d19f2d feat: show errors for types with invalid values fc33c71 chore: remove completed TODO 7f7a599 fix: chat messages falsely grouping with /me messages A screenshot of the command palette, showing details of the /me command (actually, !me). Unlike before, under the command name and description, there is a blue "action" chip, and then says "(text) The action to perform." describing the "action" parameter.

The /me command in action, folks
The top message is cut off but it says "* spadesuser test" That and these messages are centered and in a pill-shaped box, and distinct from other messages. They say things like: * spadesuser owejr ruejiwjridsjf (yes it's a keyboard smash) * spadesuser does a dance * spadesuser test * me test test * me test 2 * spadesuser has a stroke * me heals you * spadesuser test Now on the right, from "s": yoooo Left side, from me: "that's dope" Right side, from "s": "hell yeah" * spadesuser fucking dies

I can now report command errors here, where typing indicators will eventually go. (I'm also using this under the hood to power command errors in the command palette now.)

This is for execution errors and (while the palette is still visible) internal commands like `/me`.

*That's not supposed to happen!* (this executes /me, but it filled in /ping)

A screenshot of Storybook. There are several more stories for the Button component, all the example ones are gone, the control panel is on the right side now, and there is a big theme picker drop down covering half the button, which is now centered in an area with a dark background color. The Button stories include: a Docs page, Primary (selected), Secondary, Destructive, Primary Destructive, Primary Disabled, Secondary Disabled, Flat, Link, Empty, Icon And Text, and Icon.

It has begun
A boilerplate Storybook installation, all in dark mode. The currently selected component is a button, and the currently selected story under that component is Primary. So, a primary-colored (orange) button labeled "Button" with quotation marks is in the preview area.

A screenshot of ChatGPT where a bullet point about Storybook, the React component docs suite, is citing Hotels.com, which advertises "Top Hotels in White Oak, NC from $54", a completely unrelated page.

Here's an old MUA demo I made. It looks funny compared to the other ones because of the font, mostly; the downloaded version did not keep the font and I can't be arsed to fix it. It's usually Radio Canada. If it means anything to you, the screenshot has the […]

A really basic looking webmail application named Windgust. It has four tabs along the top: mail, calendar, contacts, and tasks. There is a user menu in the corner. The left side menu has, in the top section: Dashboard (selected), All inboxes, and Delta Chat. In the Gmail section: Inbox, A Folder, Sent, Spam, and Trash.

So it begins. I used a random word generator and thought Assurgent was an okay name. Now I'll need a scroll-view widget, and to hook up Iroh... and I should be off to the races?

I think uninstalling openntpd fixed it? or maybe it's using ntpd-rs instead now but doesn't actually say it is? but in any case ntpd-rs's ntp-ctl command isn't working but it says it's running and this now works.

but as a side effect of switching to edge, I no […]

Here's what I got so far on an Armadillo 2 design. It's in Penpot, not Iced. The first thing to work on in code (which is, rendering a window in the shell) need not be the same as in design. Though that'll probably be next, after this one is done on phone & […]

A screenshot of... something. The right side of the screen has an avatar, time, and date, then a search bar, then notifications, including: Music (which is Dystopia, by Starset) including back, play-pause, and forward buttons, Messages with a message from "Remy" (the photographer/subject of that stock-photo avatar) including reply and mark as read buttons, and one from Settings titled "Update complete."

caught up in the idea of making the Armadillo shell but for Linux (mobile) and trying to decide how to design it, i.e. Material, Lars' Zenit v12, my Zenit (I don't have a built version of this one anymore for some reason), or something else entirely... maybe […]

A screenshot of the Armadillo shell, with some example content, in a landscape layout. On its home screen, you can see two apps at the top, much like a "recents" screen on a mobile phone, the time, date, location, and some other information around a profile picture in the middle, and a search interface with suggestions below it. A set of three screenshots of the Fuchsia Armadillo shell. The one on the left is much like the last one, but in portrait mode; only one "story" or app is shown, and only the day of the week, time, location, battery icon, and profile picture are shown. The middle screenshot shows an expanded card, with the profile picture moved to the top with the weekday, time, and location still below it. The battery icon moves to the side to make room for the battery percentage and time left, WiFi information, and mobile network information. Below these are two sliders, one for volume and one for brightness, then a row of three buttons: airplane mode, do not disturb, and auto-rotate; and two long buttons labeled Log Out and More. The search bar is still there. The third screenshot shows the search screen expanded, with two "suggestions" shown under a search query, and a very basic on-screen keyboard. A screenshot with four "stories" or open apps. At the bottom is a small circle "home" button, and a fading time and battery percentage.
