The TUI Studio project develops a visual environment for designing console interfaces.

Posted on

The code for TUI Studio (Visual Terminal UI Designer), a tool for visually designing user interfaces that operate in a text terminal, has been opened. This environment allows users to interactively create interfaces by dragging and dropping pre-made blocks, editing properties in a visual mode, and previewing results on the fly. The created interface layout can be exported for use in frameworks like Ink, BubbleTea, Blessed, Textual, OpenTUI […]

Posted on

Version 1.0.0 of the linear algebra library for C++ (C++23 standard) smath has been released, distributed under the Apache 2.0 license as a single small header file. Library features include a generic class Vec with useful aliases Vec2/Vec3/Vec4 and accessors (x/y/z/w, r/g/b/a). Vectors support approximate comparison and tuple-structured bindings; type Quaternion based on Vec4; generic class Mat with useful aliases Mat2/Mat3/Mat4; auxiliary […]

Proposal to convert system logs lastlog, btmp, utmp, and wtmp to use SQLite

Posted on

A community of enthusiasts has developed its own DSL using macros, functioning similarly to do-notation from functional languages. Advanced preprocessor features are utilized. The presented project implements a new technique for parsing DSL, which may facilitate the creation of further DSLs on the C and C++ preprocessor. The code in the repository is written in C++23 and is open under the MIT license, and the technique can be used […]
