fynedesk VS Blackbox

We (I am one of the developers) also have https://github.com/FyshOS/fynedesk as a desktop environment.

If U like a Go Desktop try this: https://github.com/fyne-io/fynedesk

The Oberon channel has several videos of Oberon in action,

While Oberon was quite cool, people should also learn about its Xerox influence,

"Eric Bier Demonstrates Cedar"

Also dive into what happened afterwards, Oberon-2, Active Oberon, Zonnon,...

Active Oberon could be considered quite modern, also makes the distinction between safe and unsafe pointers, which improves the experience for low level coding.

One of the best things about these systems is proving what systems programming with automatic memory management were capable of.

Given Oberon-2's influence on Go, maybe improving Fyne (https://fyne.io/fynedesk/) with something like gRPC for the dynamic experience, could be a possible sucessor.

The thing is with go is it's kind of made for web applications. It's made by google for google. Taking a look at the standard library you can see the most fleshed out parts are for general system access, networking and particularly http, and crypto. People have obviously made things outside of those scopes like fynedesk, but that's where the focus of golang is.

Another angle for when a toolkit is mature could be when it’s used for a full desktop environment :). MacOS and Windows native toolkits obviously tick the box. GTK+ has Gnome, Qt powers KDE (both have Go bindings), Enlightenment is powered by EFL (no Go support yet). Fyne is being used for FyneDesk https://github.com/fyne-io/fynedesk

One other idea that I had: There are new approaches to the desktop like e.g. FyneDesk, a *nix desktop environment written in Golang (using its own GUI toolkit). It's BSD-licensed (3-clause) and I would expect the team being more than happy with anybody trying to make it available to a wider audience. Might be worth a thought.

100% agree on the theming, quick glance at the current implementation seems to indicate hardcoded values (I am assuming this is an early spec) https://github.com/fyne-io/fynedesk/blob/master/theme/theme.go

we were thinking of contributing to this project fyne-io/fynedesk: A full desktop environment for Linux/Unix using Fyne (github.com)

Blackbox is a great tool for securely storing secrets within a Git repository. It provides an easy-to-use PGP encryption system, which ensures that secrets are kept safe and secure. Furthermore, Blackbox can also be used in GitHub Actions as a secret repository, allowing developers to quickly load secrets into their pipelines. With its robust security and automated processes, Blackbox is an excellent tool for securely storing secrets within Git.

One of the major concerns amongst developers is how to store shared secrets. Storing secrets in a config file along with your source code is problematic as it can compromise privacy. Storing it outside without proper process or documentation can tend to be forgotten (not saying this is not good as using SAAS tools like Vault is the way to go). But in case you have a limited budget and limited capability, using GPG is the way to go. Here comes Blackbox.

My preferred version is blackbox: https://github.com/StackExchange/blackbox

blackbox 🥇 💼 - Stack Exchange's toolkit for storing keys/credentials securely in a git repository.

For Puppet i use blackbox

Interested in making GPG easier to use for encrypting secrets in Git? https://github.com/StackExchange/blackbox is being rewritten in Go and needs help testing, improving, ensuring compatibility, etc.
