nsblast VS Tasker

nsblast

Example from one of my projects: https://github.com/jgaa/nsblast/blob/main/cmake/3rdparty.cmake

Yahat-cpp: Simple HTTP/API server library for use in C++ micro-services. This was just some code that kept evolving inside various projects, so I distilled it to a separate project to make it simpler to maintain. For an example of a real server using it, you cal look at nsblast, a new DNS server I'm implementing.

I hope this question is not too off-topic here. I'm a bit lost. I'm working on a C++ project (a DNS server). It exposes a REST API via an embedded, very simple HTTP server. I have added swagger to document the API, and to test it from a browser. Now, I want to provide a simple web-UI to the application. I don't want this to become a major task, and ideally I want either a UI that lives as some simple js/css/http files in the browser, (so it can be served as a static website on the server-side like swagger) - or some simple to use back-end library in C++ that can drive the web-UI. In short, I hope to find a way to do this where I can have a POC ready in <= a week, and where I don't have to spend lot's of time learning some js framework.

I'm using C++ for most of my projects, because I like it. It's also what I do for a living. The latest new open source project I initiated is a dns server, nsblast, using rocksdb for storage. https://github.com/jgaa/nsblast

The (side) project I have put most effort into in the last year is k8deployer, a helm like utility that can deploy simple and complex applications in kubernetes with minimal effort. https://github.com/jgaa/k8deployer

In these projects I don't use other languages. C++ is the only language where I easily get into "flow".

I almost exclusively use C++ for my projects. Especially modern C++. When it makes sense(especially for dev tools), I use Python since for those I'm not so worried about distribution and long-term robustness.

Anyway here they are:

Qt desktop app written in C++:https://github.com/thebigG/Tasker

Simple GPIO front-end for linux GPIO driver(could definitely use some improvement) written in C++ and uses boost:https://github.com/thebigG/simple_gpio

WebApp I JUST started working on(This will be a frontend for a YOCTO/FPGA project I'm working on; guitar pedals), and yes it uses good old C++ and runs on the browser:

And while I'm at it, might as well mention my custom plugins for Godot Game Engine(C++):https://github.com/thebigG/godot-3.x-modules

I have found that C++ is the best compromise for me between performance and elegance ifI do say so myself.

That's really cool that you have it in one of the official repos! Sadly I'm an Ubuntu user myself so it might not be that straightforward to get as far as I know. Though I was able to easily build it from source. Some of these can come down to personal preference, but I'm a big fan of AppImages. If you would like to see an example of a Qt application may be turned into an AppImage. I have an example here: https://github.com/thebigG/Tasker/blob/main/.github/workflows/linux_build.yaml

Here's an example of me using this on GitHub Actions:https://github.com/thebigG/Tasker/blob/win_compile/.github/workflows/ci.yaml

It's an app that allows you to accurately track your commitments via hardware hooks(audio, mouse and keyboard). The UI can definitely use some work, but figured some people mind find as useful as I do.

Shameless plug:https://github.com/thebigG/Tasker/blob/main/Tasker/build_AppImage.py

Been working on this little project for a bit now:https://github.com/thebigG/Tasker
