svg-lib VS Killed by Google

You can hide/show icons, labels, create context menus with lisp callbacks for each menu item. The library uses svg-lib so you can use icons from various online collections supported by it. Under the hood it has tiny daemon, written in C that interacts with system tray via libappindicator. So, at least for now, the only supported OS is Linux.

Yes, he also uses svg to render a canvas and images. You can also check work by Rougier (/u/nicolas-rougier), he usually anounces his stuff in /r/emacs. He has done a lot with svg, check his svg-lib and svg-icons.

Isn't a "pile" just an "unorganized map"? Really, if you think of it: a pile of papers on a desk, could as well sitt in a folder. That should bring you back to normal desktop paradigm. Now implementing headings as "folders" shouldn't be overly difficult. You could implement a "pile" of headings as just subheadings to top headings and also render those top headings as either: svg icons, check for example svg-library by /u/Nicolas-Rougier, or you could use font-icons like in font-awesome or all-the-icons, to replace top-headings with an image or a font-icon. You would probably have to write your own minor-mode but it shouldn't be very difficult. You will probably need to use invisible-text property to hide headings and replace them with icons (that is normally how org and outline modes "fold" and "expand" content in headings), but that should not be very difficult.

the most basic UI changes you can do is by configuring faces (i recommend you take a look at the whole Controlling the Display section of the manual). going a bit beyond that, you can also take a look at the Widget Library as well for buttons, links, checkboxes and some other stuff. and there is also some packages and hacks by the community to display SVGs. see this reddit post and also some of Nicolas Rougier's work, more specifically his SVG lib.

You could, at least in theory, do lots of GUI stuff in Emacs itself already with SVG (org PNGs). See for example svg-lib by N. Rougier for doing stuff like buttons, toolbars and some other gui elements. You can do pop-up menus with child frames.

At the moment undetermined progress is what's supported out-of-the-box. Determined progress can be supported easily enough if svg-lib is used to create the progress bar.

Oh, I understood now what you mean. I think Emacs is definitely capable of doing this (https://github.com/rougier/svg-lib), but I don't think there's a plugin which has already done it :/.

i saw this repository and i want to use thoses icons in my org files, but i don't have much experience with emacs-lisp and neither org-mode (sorry for being a newbie). i tried to append (require 'svg-lib) and also i donwloaded the repository and before did it before requiring the module (i'm not sure if this is the right name)

Have you considered/tried doing something with svg-lib?

Can you open an issue on https://github.com/rougier/svg-lib (with screenshots)? I'm trying to fix the tag for any kind of font ant that would help.

I was already starting to feel a little cornered in the whole Google ecosystem and a bit limited with stuff like backups, vendor lock in, etc. (and you always have the obvious hanging over your head) and ultimately, I think I just find the mental model of a SQL database more intuitive compared to a NoSQL database. So I thought to myself; "the longer I leave it, the harder it'll be to make the switch".

Their reputation is deserved. Google domains was killed only last year!

And this isn't even the first time I've been burned by Google's decisions. If you're familiar at all with the Google Graveyard, you'll know that Google has a long history of killing off products and services that people have come to rely on. This has happened to me a number of times, in both a personal and professional capacity, and frankly it's getting old.

Just because Google has a couple of decent services that you're willing to pay for doesn't detract from the fact that most of their products have a worse life expectancy than a victorian child in the 1800s. https://killedbygoogle.com

They ruined every single opportunity to be more than an advertising company since Orkut. With scrapped attempts, starts and lack of intention for most of the 2010s to even during the early half of the Pixel Era, they seemingly haven't learnt to stick to something and iterate on it well.

And the fact that over 50% of their revenues come from search and by extension, advertising.

The fact' that til this day, they still haven't evolved from the "throwing shit at the wall then at the fan" strat which explains how they have fumbled so much so quickly.

Yeah. The Google Graveyard really shows how far this can go.

The punchline is that in addition to hundreds of failed hobby projects, their stock is doing great. Monopoly power is a helluva drug.

To me Gemini is just sort of generic and uninteresting. There has to be hundreds or thousands of products and companies based on the name "Gemini" - "Bard" was at least interesting, different and distinct.

I've no idea about the quality of the product itself, I have never had a reason to use it. It's long past cliché now but I wouldn't get too attached to a Google product that is definitely costing a lot of money but which has no clear pathway to turning a profit. I think they will keep it ticking over until the hype train moves on from Chatbots/LLMs, and then it'll join the Google Graveyard @ https://killedbygoogle.com

We're not talking about reliability, we're talking about Google's penchant for killing established products that people use. https://killedbygoogle.com
