It’s analogous to org-mode, but instead of markup files it’s using a back-end which is based on the data-model used by TiddlyWiki.

a git interface like magit, and a directory tree off to the side, but for now I think I am going to try and shore up some of the bugs that exist, and try to fit the code into a more cohesive general architecture.Įditing is one big part of Flamelex, but if you check out this talk I recently gave at the Denver elixir meetup ( Luke Taylor Introduces Memelex - YouTube) - I have actually spent the biggest chunk of my effort building the “Memex” - a personal knowledge base that’s integrated within the software. There’s a whole bunch of extra functionality I would love to make, e.g. I want to have re-arrangable split panes, and need to introduce a layering system so I can have notifications and so the menu bars work correctly) - but my major focus for next year is going to be trying to refactor & condense this functionality down into a stable, testable, properly debugged piece of desktop software. I am now at a point where many problems have been solved in a “proof of concept” manner (not all, e.g.

The above video does a good job of showing of functionality, but I confess, it’s a choreographed demo - so far in this project’s journey, I have spent a lot of time working on low-level components and doing hacky investigation type implementations, just to learn how to attack all the problems at hand. It is fast & easy to work with, and capable. In order to make consistent progress I decided to also try streaming development and all the issues I’m trying to figure out on twitch channel Twitch, for this year I want to stream each day at CET 8 p.m for an hour or so, would appreciate any feedback.Īs you can see, I decided to proceed by basing my project on the Scenic graphics lib ( ElixirConf 2018 - Introducing Scenic A Functional UI Framework - Boyd Multerer - YouTube) - Scenic is fast approaching v1.0, Boyd has put a ton of work in over the last year or so as well. It’s still an early stage and more like proof of concept but here it is: GitHub - achempion/alice, I hope to reach stage when it starts to be usable for simple edits. Recently, I discovered GitHub - ndreynolds/ratatouille: A TUI (terminal UI) kit for Elixir library with a simple DSL to write console applications and decided to give my idea a go. I’ve been playing with idea about writing some bare-bones editor which runs as mix application where you just clone the repository and can extend it as you wish by writing different OTP modules. Previously I used VS Code, Idea, Sublime, Vim, Notepad++ (10 years ago) and I maybe something else which I forgot. It’s a custom build version although I’ve tried doom emacs and spacemacs for some time. I’ve been using Emacs as my main code editor for more than a two years.
