  • ScreenPlay

    See https://gitlab.com/kelteseth/screenplay - Modern, Cross Plattform, Live Wallpaper & Widgets ! Free on Steam : https://store.steampowered.com/app/672870/ScreenPlay/

    • 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/

  • nushell

    A new type of shell

    • Is even worse. Is the same old, bad, ancient, archaic, obsolete, terminal thingy with a small improvement (https://github.com/nushell/nushell is the only I see that are half-there).

    And it existed MUCH better tools for interactive programming (of the past) to copy instead.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
