Videos of Godotcon 2023
I gave a lightning talk about Godot as a wallpaper engine replacement via ScreenPlay[1]. I hacked this together the week before the convention and I hope to release it by the end of the month.

Hi everyone, for those of you following the progress of my skyrim weather wallpaper program, it is finished and up on github! Details in the comments
I found an open source live wallpaper app called Screen play that supports mac, Linux and windows which might be a suitable alternative. https://screen-play.app/

Ask HN: I just want to have fun programming again
Qt/QML? I have been doing cross-platform development with Qt for a few years now [1]. It does have a learning curve, but I do like the split of C++ logic and Qml for the UI. I can recommend the qml book [2].

is there any way to get wallpaper engine for free?
Here is an alternative - https://screen-play.app/

[Weekly] What is everybody working on? Share your progress, discoveries, tips and tricks!
There is Slate the pixel editor written in Qt/QML. Alternatively, ScreenPlay (Open Source Live Wallpaper) always welcomes contributors :P https://screen-play.app/
That's sounds cool! Are you planning to open source it? I could use something like this in ScreenPlay!

Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (November 2022)
My FOSS live wallpaper app ScreenPlay[1]. Currently working on getting macOS universal binary support working with cmake/vcpkg. Linux (KDE) will be next :)

Koi Kimono - Double Exposure Effect
This would be a cool ScreenPlay desktop live wallpaper ;)

Ask HN: Why are there so many companies trying to reinvent the terminal (badly)?
Not with Qt6/CMake/QML. For example, I've been developing a cross-plattform live wallpaper app for the last 5 years alone: https://screen-play.app/

WASM: Big Deal or Little Deal?
It is what Makepad is working on in an interesting way using Wasm and Rust. They have created a Figma-like DSL and a good code separation with the logic behind it. You can edit UI's of in-production apps, and they are bundling an editor for that. Accessibility is an issue, and the project are looking to offer proper support there. In their video linked on the README they run the conference slides on Makepad with live apps embedded and running at 120 fps.

Snappy UIs with WebAssembly and Web Workers
> if anyone tells you they need to use WebAssembly to make the UI snappy I'd advise you interrogate that assertion thoroughly.
Get prepared to be blown away by Makepad [0]. I have no affiliation with them, but just watched their most recent conference presentation [1]. The slides were made with Makepad itself and included, embedded, a full-blown IDE, a synthesizer app, a Mandelbrod to zoom in endlessly, and more. All running at 120fps. The presentation is for the most part live-coding with this setup.
What they want to do is bring coders and designers closer together, and while some code is in Rust they developed a DSL for the GUI parts that is close to how Figma works. These GUI's can run anywhere.
And I couldn't help thinking "Why would people have complicated stacks to create Web 2.0 apps for the Google Web, when they have this?", in other words an opportunity to break out of the browser straitjacket.

Makepad- Synthesizer Written in Rust
For those who haven’t seen it, Makepad is also an in-browser code editor with an open-source UI toolkit. Looks like this synth is one of the examples of the UI toolkit.

50 Shades of Rust, or emerging Rust GUIs in a WASM world
And I'm obsessed with what happens when you press Alt in their editor. I never knew I wanted this, but boy, do I want it.

Leveraging Rust and the GPU to render user interfaces at 120 FPS
I tried this, using https://makepad.dev our GPU accelerated UI and renderstack. And unfortunately it wasn't a great experience. Text popping forward for whatever reason is not really an improvement (i tried indent depth, syntax highlighting reasons, cursor behavior). Maybe 'veeeeery' subtly could do something, but otherwise you dont want it to break visual symmetry as we are used to

Is the regex crate a bottleneck in your program? If so, can you share the details?
Wow, so they did: https://github.com/makepad/makepad/pull/142

Rust Web Framework Comparison
We can! It’s a lot of work because you don’t have the whole JS ecosystem to fall back on, but to some that’s a feature not a bug.
My favorite example of this is https://makepad.dev

Lapce release v0.0.12 open source code editor
And a feature highlight of Code Lens. The idea is borrowed from https://github.com/makepad/makepad

Why Not Rust?
When it comes to compile times, the most optimized Rust codebase I know for optimized for this is makepad.dev [1].
It is compiling from scratch on mac m1 in around 7.5s [2] and that's +100k lines of Rust. However there is close to none dependencies, so this +100k is all there is to compile pretty much.
